pin stripe removal??
Aight, I'm new here, so go easy on me 
Anyway, I'm getting tired of looking at the ugly pin stripe on my car that the dealer put on it, so I really wanna take it off. How should I take it off without damaging the paint? Would an adhesive remover be ok?
I tried searching the archives for this, but had no luck.

hey rev, make sure it isnt painted on, if it is just a decal, do what the dr said. but if it is pant, you might want to take to a body shop so they can do it right, they have some heavy duty paint remover that do the trick.
Als if you just bought the car, take it back and tell them you dont like it, my dealer said that was fine that not all customers like it. so they removed it for free.

Rep Power: 0 Ok, I just took it off earlier today. I bought 3M adhesive remover in case I had any problems, but the pin stripe peeled off so easily, I didn't even need a hair drier and it didn't leave any glue residue. If I knew it would have been that easy I would have taken it off months ago[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
