It worked!
I wanted to remove my pinstripes that came from the previous owner (most likely a dealer option), since I hate those ugly things. Well at first I wasn't sure how to do it properly, I was considering using a heat gun, and then I found out about a 3M Eraser Wheel. But just a few days ago, I was browsing the tutorials posted on LexLS.com and came across this..

Well check out my results!
Now you see it...
..and now you don't
I swear it's not pshopped

Looks a ton better. Pinstripes are evil.

You should see the rear
Let's just say it's a work in progress (I only got the car in July)

Pinstripes rise and fall in fashion
I like them on some cars and in contrasting colors so you can see them.
I miss the red-wall tires from the 60's also

I actually like that. There are only a handful of cars that I don't mind with pinstripes.
