I took of my pinstripe the other day and am really glad i did. all i can think is why didnt i do this earlier? i also worked out my lights situation and put in some 6000k fogs. here are some pics. the first one is before with the pinstripe for reference.

Looks good. I've been wanting to remove my pinstripes every since I got mine. Probably won't get around to it though.
 
i was hesitant to but i just started picking at it and it came off easy. The hardest part was getting all the residue off. I was worried it woud be faded underneath but for a car with 103,000 miles on it looks perfect.
 
Yea I agree. I have an black LS and immediately took the pin stripe off soon after I bought it. Looks very clean. There's some adhesive remover that you can buy from Autozone or Advance to remove the adhesive. Just spray it on and rub it off.

Lighter fuel like Ronsonol works very well, I use it for all label and adhesive removal, very cheap.

Using a hair dryer or heat gun makes removing pinstripe tape easier.
 
Thanks guys, hopefully i will treat myself to some nice wheels this xmas. :D

About the hair dryer i didnt really need it, it came off pretty easy, except for the one fender that was repaired and repainted once. I guess the body shop put the stripe on before the paint dried because i can see a faint faint faint outline about 6 in. long on the fender that is under the clear coat :mad: . other than that im glad i did it.
