I don't have either of those things, I'll try to find someone who does so I can debadge it one of these days, I guess the main problem is I don't have space to do it myself...

Wow guys, give the dude a break, clearly he's not comfortable doing it himself and there's nothing wrong with that. There is still a change you can damage your paint doing this after all.
OP- I know I'm a distance from you, but if you want to bring it by I will do it for you, for free.

lol, I'm not a troll what I mean by space is I'm not near an electrical outlet to get heat on the paint, nor do I have access to a garage. I live in a very urban area and I rather not do any work on the street

The other trick (which doesn't work well this time of year) is just to have your car in the sun for a while. that usually warms up the paint and adhesive enough to get the floss thru it. But hey if the experts at MAC are willing to hook you up for nothing then go for it!

+1 I guarantee half the people that did this themselves didn't bother to clean the car up before hand and probably scratched the hell out of their paint as well.

Nah, I think most people did what I did: read the countless DIYs that are on this forum and did it right!
