You could try peeling it off, but I am not sure you could get it off without ripping it. You could also try a razor blade, since you probably don't care about damaging the paint. If you took off some paint with it, it might hold together better. Of course, you could just cut that section of the hood off?

If it was me, I would take a high-res picture, and print it on sticker paper. If you take the photo straight, and not at an angle, in good light, you could probably print one that looks 70-80% as good as new.

Point an electric hair dryer at the label to soften up the adhesive underneath. Use a razor blade to carefully lift up one of the corners, then gradually lift off the label intact, using the hair dryer all the while.

Take your time, it should come off. After removing the label, place it on some wax paper until you're ready to re-install.

Always worked for me on other labels..........just sayin'...........
