Adhesive Remover??

[NoCones]

Recently acquired a used 00 GT. It has some nasty aftermarket faux brushed aluminum (aka plastic) trim on the dash. It appears to have been applied with double-sided tape. I'm pretty sure I can get the plastic off with brute force, a putty knife, and/or a razor blade, but there's going to be quite a bit of adhesive residue. Can anyone recommend something that will take that residue off without harming the oem plastic underneath?

I have used isopropyl alcohol to remove adhesive before. It usually helps if it is warm, at least 70 degrees F or so.
Take a cotton cloth, get it damp with the alcohol, and rub it into the adhesive. Most of it should come off onto the rag, but you can use a bit more alcohol on it and rub some more then you can usually just pull the stubborn pieces off with your fingers. 3M has a tar and adhesive remover as well, but i cannot vouch that it wont damage the dashes on these cars. They are made from some of the softest plastic ive seen.
Good luck

how about a heat gun and some goo-gone?

I'd say try Goo Gone. If you're not sure if it will hurt the plastic try it on the inside of the ash tray door first.
