Little bit of grease remover and the tape residue should come right off.
Only thing I see that will be a bit of a pita is the corners that are by the base of the windshield are up a little more then they probably should be.
I may, have those cut off when I have the hood mounted (cowl is getting cut at the same time and the engine bay will be getting repainted as well) and have a couple filler pieces permanently mounted there.
Have to see though.
Looks killer for sure, can't wait until I get mine on the car. Between the hood, the formula hatch, lowering the whole car an inch or so, and doing the tubs on the car and the 15z12 double beadlocks it's gonna look like a totally differnet car! Hell maybe I should convert it to a hardtop while I'm at it.

The pics are a little decieving. The "wings" look like they stick up but with a dzus fastener and a little clearancing around the glass they push right down. Its pretty thin fiberglass there and flexes to conform to that area pretty well.. We should have it fitted up with all the gaps checked next monday, but so far the gaps look pretty good the hood sets nicely into place and is level next to the fenders....

Yup I've got the older style that extends further up on the windshield. If I had the money I would buy the new style but oh well. Here are a couple pics of mine. Being 6'1 helps because I don't have any issues seeing over it or driving it on the street
