How about Goo-Gone? Soak them in a bit and use a non-marring tool to scrape them off.

Remcafee, would you mind taking a pic of your new bumper up close? My grill sticks out a bit. I think it needs to be trimmed, but I want to make sure first.

Mine might be aftermarket. I don’t remember if the number on the back says Toyota. What I’m wondering is does yours look the same, or do I need to trim mine along the bend (marked in red).

i hate to tell you this but theres no "quick" way....and be VERY carefull of any chemcals as youll ikely damage the plastic, youll need to just pick n poke and rub at it till you get it all off, the best tool i know of for that is to use something made of silicone and rub it by HAND the same way youd use a finger to get it emblem tape off a body
