yeah, no to the pinstriping. just doesnt flow with the car. I personally wouldn't pinstripe any car these days, but it looks exceptionally bad on the G

When I was looking to buy my car, the salesman at one dealership was trying to sell me on the fact that it had the pin stripe.

I told him that it looked homo and kinda goddy. Maybe would look good if I rocked absurdly chrome rims and glowing lights with it.

But that is not my style. In the end I bought from another dealership that wasn't trying to advertise a hideous feature.

My dealer tried to "throw it in". I told them if they do I would not buy the car. pin striping looks horrible IMO.

"It looked homo" What year is this anyway? And I guess you meant gaudy. Obviously, correct English is not your style either.

I bought mine with them on there because I got a good deal and I thought it would be easy to remove the pinstripes....... Boy was I wrong. I'm still trying to get the chit off so if anyone knows an easy way to do it without fking up my clear I'm all ears.

not sure what method you used but i recommend using a hair dryer on HOT and hold there and slowly peel the entire thing right off...you'll probably then need to use like goo gone or something like that to get the glue off and then a nice wax and buff and its gone!

This is the closest I ever got to not minding a pin stripe on a G but I would still never do it, it may also be that the rest of this car is so nice. To each their own though I guess.

Mines painted on so that wont work. I got nearly a foot off using my fingernail. That took 30 careful minutes. There has got to be another way.
