i used a heat gun and my fingers, then took some spray on wax and buffed the parts where it was. you will see it for a while until you wash, wax, and repeat for a few months. but then its just beee utiful. it should peel off if it gets hot and some peeling though. and it does make it look a lot better.

take a hairdryer and heat the ends to get the stripe started, then just pull it off very slowly adding heat when needed.

When I took my pin stripes off my max, I had to sand them off. They were painted on. I used like 2000 grit wet sand, the wheeled the whole car out with compound and wax after.

i just had my bumper and quarter panel replaced, and they left some of the stripe hanging over, enough for me to grab ahold of and slowly peel it off

i didnt even use a heat gun or dryer, just use some patience and take it off with your fingernails.
