use a blow dryer to heat up the pin stripe or leave ur car in the sun.

then just carfully peel em off from one end to other. and adhesive left behind take some goo gone to it and rub it off.

easy as pie

I got some adhesive removal wipes from auto zone that worked real well. But if you have an outlet close to your car go for a blow dryer or heat gun.....

Car is probably too old to remove them cleanly. Mine came off the day it came off the lot, and even then it was a pain in the ass.

let it sit in the sun a good while and they'll come off easily. then just take some goo-gone and wash it up. you'll probalby have a nice line of unfaded paint where the stripes used to be tho.

Yep, which will look just as bad, if not worse.

I think matco makes a wheel that you can put on a die grinder that rubs them right off adhesive and all.
