Removing Pin Stripes...???

Has anyone removed the pinstripes off of their car? How did you go about doing it? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hair dryer, meguiars paint cleaner, my student ID, and time... just heat the pin stripe up, use a credit card to scrape the stripe off, then go over the goo that the pinstripe leaves with paint cleaner... it takes some elbow grease to get all the goo off, but it's well worth the effort!
