Whew. I have to say that you have such a nice Max, and those pinstripes were killing me.

Now you just need to invest in some Naked Lady mudflaps and you'll be golden!!!

yes, very good indeed.
I like it much better. It seems like the wheels go better with the car now.
Very clean, as usual.
What do you do, just sit around and then clean your car like once a day or something? ha ha

Looks great though, makes me want to take mine off too. What did you do, just peel it of and use bug/tar remover or something?

when i took mine off I used a hairdryer to heat the stripes up, then peeled them off... went over it with meguiars paint cleaner step 1 of 3 to get the goo off the car, then waxed where I used the paint cleaner


looks so much better will!

yes, ill be dropping it, right after i get back from basic training this summer. ill be back in september, but im not leavin till june so dont get ur panties in a twist. i acutally do wash my car a lot, i wish i could sit around and watch it all day, im a little obsessed. and my paint is orignal, its just called Dark Blue, color code is BM1. It is the rarest blue I've seen, I've seen a couple blue 4th gens, but none my color. And I'm also going to be writing a write up on how to remove the pin stripes, I'll post it when I'm all done. Thanks for the comments guys

LOL ... it's like the 4x4 maxima. You sportin' 4Motion?

By the way, I like the color too, very nice!

Good luck in basic training man! What branch of the service will you be in?

Thanks for the Idea WiillMax!!! (Although I know tons of people have done it)... But yeah, I never considerd it until you did it. But I just removed the stripes off my GLE this morning! The car looks a lot better without them. I'll post before and after pics later.
