take a hair dryer and and heat up the tip of it til its soft then just peel away. when its off you might have some goo so go to home depot and get some goo off and put just a lil bit on that part and rub off. once all the goo is off wipe it down with a wet towel like those towels you dry your car when your done washing it then wax it. i did it and its looks so much cleaner. it will take you 20 mins. jsut take your time peeling them off.

i didn't realize elegance and civic went hand-in-hand[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] i thought most people would say that for accords or something, but the civic? Well, to each his own.

WTF. Now I'm starting to see this guy just post these damn thumbs up too. :cough, cough , Post *****:

Anywho, back to your Topic, if you've had your car for some time now, I've heard that if you remove your pin stripes, it may leave a mark from where you paint has'nt faded like the rest of the car. Not sure how you would fix that so mine will continue to stay on.
