How to - remove stickers of Carbon bike?

Hi there!

Just got me a GT STS, with the complimentary faded/peeling stickers :facepalm: .
I need advise, how to remove the stickers without damaging the Themoplastic/carbon frame?
Concerned that a hairdryer would get to warm :?
 
Never mind. I managed to do it without any damage :D

I carefully used a small plastic scraper (a ruler actually) at the right angle and some very light pressure, and it worked.
BUT - I wouldn't recommend this technique to anyone not used to scraping. :!:
Using the wrong scraper material or the wrong angle, it would easy do some permanent damage.
 
Being as they were STS decals, I'd have thought that just staring at them for a couple of minutes or leaving them out in a light breeze would have been enough to have got them off! ;)
 
If they are peeling already, try WD40 and then brute force and fingernails. WD40 is great at removing sticker residue of cd covers, so why not on frames. Safe on carbon I believe.
