Cool

Use a hair drier to heat up soften the pin strip. Use your finger nail to gently remove the pin strip and heat it as you pull the pin strip off. To clean any residue you can use WD-40 and a soft towel to wipe it clean then wash your car afterward.

Here are a couple of good threads I found using the search feature (hint ) using the kewords 'remove pin stripe' and 'pinstripe remove' that should help as well.

You'll need to figure out whether your pinstripe is a decal type (like mine was) which just peeled right off like an old sunburn, or a painted-on type which takes a little more work.
