Just curious how many people have attempted or accomplished removing their pinstripes? On my 97 grand am se im not sure if they are painted on or if it is a sticker.. any clues or ideas on removing them?

They are a vinyl sticker. I removed mine very easily. Get a blow dryer and heat it up as you go along, this way there will be less residue and it will come off easier. I just used my finernail to get the pin stripes started. Then once you get them off use goo gone to take the residue off. Give it a good wash and wax and that's it. :)

I must be one of the few people who like the pinstripes.

Goto the Eastwoodcompany.com and search for a pinstripe eraser.

I took some vinyl off my car a couple years ago I used a Presser washer that used hot water. I found that it left almost no residue, Try some of the car washes some of them use hot water. I only had a few spots were it left anything behind. (Keep in mind that my vinyl was not that old)

(i like them, but its got to be done right or atleast the right design/shade or color to look good on the car)
