yes. search man theres been threads about it. i took mine off the day i got the car. sut take a hair dryer and go over the stripe til it gets hot and then start to tear it off. when its off then take some goo gone found at home depot for like 5 bucks take the glue off. then after that just wash that area where you put the goo gone at. dont leave that one cuz it will ruin your paint. it takes 10 minutes.

the pinstripe?

try heating a section at a time with a hair dryer as well as using goo-gone. Just pull it slowly, then make sure to wash/wax the paint real good.

part stores even sell stuff to get bumper stickers off.

EDIT: I swear to god that wasn't posted when i posted mine!

that was strange!

i just barely took mine off, and its been 2 years! they came off easy, but there is still some glue residue left on. looks soo much better without em. just take your time, im sure they will come off.

are we talking about the pinstriping or the molding...because i thought that we were talking about the molding which comes from the factory...

the pinstriping isnt a factory thing, its a dealer thing

My pinstriping was on for a year and a half before I removed it. There was probably more residue left than there was for the guys who immediately did it, but since I'm slightly obsessive about my car, it wasn't a problem for me. Just use a blowdryer and wax off the residue.
