i had that pinstrip on my 96 coupe and i used adhesive remover while removing it, only problem is that its kind of noticeable from close but not from far, but thats basically b/c of how long it was on there for and the change of color to the paint around the pinstrip itself.
hope this helps!

i used a hair dryer to help remove pinstripes..
took the longest time.. then paint thinner on the residue...
then wax it up..
took about 3 days in total, but well worth it

Re: (USDMDC2)
I used simple green and a Food Lion MVP card to get my pinstripe off. Just be sure to wax afterwards. I'd also get rid of the fender trim, but that's just my opinion. Nice looking hatch you got there.

I think for now, I'm just gonna keep the pinstrips. It's gonna be too time consuming and it doesn't really look that bad since the car is still very clean.

clean car is that original paint? looks good
and removing pinstripe, do it in a hot summer day

you can get this thing called an Eraser wheel and it goes a drill or dremel and you run it on the pin strip and it comes off. my buddy worked at a boddy shop and he was bitch boy and he got to do things like this. he wont do it for me though

get a hair dryer, put it on hot/hi and warm up the area. peel the pin stripe back and clean the adhesive with bug and tar remover. then wax.

Aw, that's cute, reminds me of my car when I first got it 4 years ago.
Now I rarely wash it and it has a few dents here and there.
