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

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
