HaHA I feel you!!! I just had my vinyl stripes removed. I began it myself and decided that I just am not that patient. Your car looks great. It's hard not to like just plain BLACK

a good way to remove them should be to use a blow dryer on them to warm up the glue, then peel them off. I haven't done it though...

I've never removed stripes with a heat gun, but I'm morbidly curious why it would be bad. Does it have something to do with the stripes becoming brittle and not peeling off as easily? I just want to understand for future reference.

nice work, looks much better, I was going to buy a black one with a white stripe on it and I hated the way it looked, I was going to remove teh black stripe off my redfire but its kind of grown on me now and I like it, Im thinking of adding black racing stripes too now.
