How To Remove Those Ugly Lines?
Hi, I just bought my 01 Max, it comes with gold lines running across both sides of the car, is it possible to remove it WITHOUT damaging the paint/clear coat? It looks REALLY fugly. Any help will be appreciated.

And then wax it so it shines...

1. Use hair dryer on medium to low heat to soften adhesive. Too high of heat can actually bubble the paint.
2. Carefully peel back sticker
3. Remove left over adhesive with WD-40

I like my pinstripe. adds a little contrast to the car. Either way, I cant take mine off anyway. My pinstripe is painted on, not the sticker kind. I guess the factory didn't go cheap on mine by using a tape.

Pinstripes on the Max are hideous IMO. I lifted the corner off with my fingernail and then pulled the rest off. There was a lot of residue left but there was a faint line with the pinstripe was before. I used a all-in-one paint cleaner where the pinstripe was.
I used this same method for removing the dealer sticker on the back of the car.

I don't believe that those stripes are painted on at the factory. The dealer sends them out or has someone install them after they get the cars in . Then they try to charge youa bunch of money for them. I took mine off the day I got my car back in 2002. Back in the day they used to paint pinstripes on American cars.
