Rep Power: 0 my EBP Coupe came with gold pinstripes....after some persuation from ppl like pogi2k1ex, i removed them, and i thank God i did 
the car looks so much cleaner and more sleek without them, and now when i see a car like mine w/ them on, it looks weird to me.

lol, i did kinda notice that... so does your first name start with a "b" and last name "hayes"? please say no... way too freaky [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
anyway if you haven't done so already, i'd take the stripes off... black is too much of a contrast on the body color... it'll look better naked!

Rep Power: 0 I didn't need any heat to get mine off. I just started it with my fingernail, then pulled REALLY slowly at a 45 degree angle the whole way down. If you are patient, this might work for you. They are basically vinyl stickers, and can be removed as such

Too many dealers are slapping sh*t on our cars before we buy them! Every car at my dealer came with the "Bell Honda Preferred Package" which included pinstriping, mud guards, fenderwell guards, door edge guards, and a wimpy window tint. THe pinstriping of course was removed Now that it's summer (and if you live in a hot place like me) you won't even need a heat source to remove them, just peel off and admire the new clean appearance[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

pin stripping sucks and i wish that i would have made the dealer remove them before i bought the car. i haven't taken them off because i really dont have the time but i hope i can find the time soon
