Removed Pinstripe
I was outside taking pictures of my car with the new wheels I just got, and noticed the pinstripe looks like crap so, I decided
to remove it. Instead of the hairdryer method though, I used cups of warm water (not hot!). I would start where the stripes
ended, pour a little warm water over the edge, pull it up about half and inch, and then pour as I was pulling the pinstripes
off. It worked! I pulled the 3 pieces (rear, door, fender) on the passenger side without them breaking once. It's just too
bad I didn't use warm water on the drivers side, cause the pinstripe snapped like 50 times.
