Default Warning labels on frame

What do you all do with the warning labels?
Take them off or leave them on?
What is the best method to remove?

Don't think I've seen any on my '12. But be careful, there could be an enforcement team like the mattress tag police.

I just peel them off with my fingernail. It can take a while. Then go back with some Goo Gone to get any residue.

Use a hair dryer to heat them up. Peel off. Remove adhesive with Goo Gone. Wash and Wax. Done.

It's so long ago since I last did any I don't recall what I used to remove the sticky stuff, probably WD40, which seems to shift most self adhesives, with a little patience.

I removed them long ago, this seems like one of those things that's always overlooked. To my knowledge there was nothing important on them aside from the VIN but that's stamped into the neck.

I got real angry and took out a knife and... You know those warning labels on motorcycles, I cut one of them off. I've got a bad temper Peewee. That's why I was in jail. I'm bad, really bad.
