Hi everyone, i got a black 2003 honda civic EX, it came with a thin white and grey pinstripe, i don't like the way it looks on the car, its not painted on it looks kinda like a sticker, i want to pull it right off but i'm worried it might leave a mark or something, has anyone else had this on their civic/car and experimented with taking it off?

its best to heat it up a bit with a hair dryer while pulling and go slowly, otherwise it may come off in tiny pieces. any marks can be cleaned up with detailing supplies like meguiars scratch-x and some wax after the mark is gone.

thanks for your reply, the hair dryer won't damage my paint will it?

just do not heat it too much or too close and also not if its very cold outside, paint might crack. you can get a feel for it by slowly pulling the sticker off and keep applying heat til it starts to lift up. thats why i suggested a hair dryer and not a heat gun so you prolly wont ruin the paint unless you really let the hair dryer sit in one spot for a while.
