It might work like this guy did with his car... http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...ight=Pinstripe I dunno... Just trying to point you in the right direction. Hoped I helped a little.

ok i have the stripe off..but i still have that sticky shit underneath..how do i remove that?

I'm not sure if goo gone or the like is safe on car paint (probably not) but try something like that.

3M makes some great adhesive remover.I think you can get at walmart or almost any major auto parts store.I used it when I took the factory stripes of my Toyota pickup it worked great.Also I'm glad to hear your finally removing that stripe.

i know that rubbing alcohol and a little elbow greasse WILL get sticky crap off but not sure what it will do to the paint if anything, never used it on paint but awsome on galss hope it helps

agreed..cant wait to see pics

well if that had come up before i posted mine i would have kept my big mouth shut :_doh:

thanks..pics pending..but only tease pics..

I like what I see... But yeah you can see the sticky stuff on the last pic the best. Good luck.

thanks thanks..:)

very nice man, i can't wait to see the pics.

buy one of those pinstriping removers from an auto store...it's like an eraser like material that goes in a drill and is the only way to do it....i think there are ones safe for clearcoat also....good luck

damn i really like your car. every time i see it, i like it more

yeah those look sweet. i think youll just want to heat the strip up with a heat gun or at worst a hair dryer and pull it back. i hope the FL sun didnt fade the paint around it...

i hope so too..but i just looked at it and it seems to be ok..
:clap:

must see more pics.... looks bitchin

thanks bro..i dont plan on taking pics intill i get the damn adhesive off..tommorow im going to finish taking it off.. its time consuming.. :_disgust:

i wanna see some better pics of those wheels on the car. i love that style

if ur having trouble taking it off use some medium temp. laquer thinner, itll take it off easy and wont harm the paint. make sure to polish the paint when ur done too :)

150% better man :tup:

Nice rims ;)

very nice, I like it.

more pics damnit...lol
ah cute...another date...bwhahahahahahha.......*sigh* to bad i'm 3hrs away....

hey what kinda rims are those? and what size?? and same for 02civic_rida, what size are they and brand? thanks

lol i used to work at a detailing shop and one of the main things we did was strip cop cars and security vans of their vinyls and stickers.. to get it off you'd use a heat gun and to remove the glue you use varsol (cudnt tell u wut kind but test an area on your car to check if its safe first) or a cutting cream . . that shud do it altho varsol is the most affective

those rims look insane! more pics!
