HELP Removing Rear Splash Guards

I noticed after recieving my new splash guards that the rear ones have this adhesive on them which is how they are so flush against the rear bumper. My question to you guys is how should I remove the ones I have without damaging the the paint and etc on my rear bumper. They seem pretty solid and show no signs of coming out lol. Maybe I should have Infiniti do it? Any tips or info? thanks!

fishing line....and "floss" the tape off....then the remainding tape, use Goo-gone and it'll come off easily..make sure u have a damp towel to wipe off the goo-gone right away to avoid paint damage (if any)
