I've had my '06 for about a year and a month (Black on black Vert) and I Love it, but the White Tape Stip pisses me off. Am I SOL, or can I just rip that piece of junk off?

My neighbor removed the white stripe from his '06 Black/Black with the pony package. Stang looks much better IMO.

So he just ripped it off?

Just a nice wash to even everything off after I guess, then?

A few people I know keep telling me that it will either ruin the paint or you will be able to see marks where it was. If anyone knows they are wrong, i would be sooooo happy. I friggin hate that stripe. My entire car is black as night except for the stupid stripe.

Yep...he removed it, washed and gave it a goodwaxing and now can't even tell there was ever a stripe. Of course he did this immediately after purchasing the car approx a year ago.

Hmm. I wonder if that year of having the stripe on will have any sort of negative effect

=)

I wanna do it but im scared lol

I like it.

You should not have problems unless your paint is in poor condition (swirl marks).. if it is.. it will be a deeper black where the stripes were.
Plus.. you could always get new one's if it's really bad.

Sweet. I'm gonna rip those bitches off, give her a wash, pick up/pop in some silverstars and post some pics

Do this...

Sit your car facing the sun for a few hours on a hot afternoon and let the stripe heat up. After that time passes it should peel right off. But the longer you leave it the harder it'll be to take off. Then repeat this process on the other side. If it's not hot enough outside you can use a heat gun to heat thestripe and thenpull it off. It's not that difficult. Any residue that remains on there can be removed with Goo Gone.

Hair dryer( loosen it up o u can peel it easier) and rubbing alcohol( get the gunk off).

It took awhile for you to get a truthful response!
You have to use a hair drier to heat up the tape.

Are you talking about the SIDE stripes? If so, there should be no real difference in color with only a year old car. If you mean racing stripes (over the hood and roof) it's possible, if you park in the sun all the time.
