I wanna try this but it seems like even if you use fishing lines you will scratch paint because the part that you're prying is lower than the rest of the bumper (lower as in caved in), scratching the paint. Can you provide some info on this? Thanks man i appreciate your help.
I just started with the fishing line on one side. Just get it under the edge and hold the line up, not out, up and away from the car. Then just start with a sawing motion keeping the line up and away from the car the whole time. It also helps if it is heated up, we live in Tn. so I just would let mine sit out in the hot sun for a while. But you could use a blow dryer, just don't burn the paint. The other day one of my coworkers wanted me to help her remove some emblems from her truck, when we when out to do it, the truck was so hot you could have fried an egg on it. I ran the line under the emblem an it sliced right through the glue like it was butter! Easiest way to do it!
