Default Hood stripe removal

Figured if I didn't like the look without the hood stripe I could have one put back on. So what's the trick to taking it off? Thx.

Only problem with taking it off is you may have a tan line were it was.

A heat gun, luck, and some patience will do it.

I took mine off and the glue is very strong. I have a friend who details car and he used some kind of compound and a buffer to remove most of mine. He say he can wet sand it and then polish the hood back to look brand new.

Okay, think I'll leave well enough alone unless I find someone in person familiar enough with the process to do it. Sounds like I'd fudge it up. Thx to you both for the feedback.

Cool Peel Off

Just start the corner with your fingernail and peel it off. Mine came off VERY easily and didn't leave any sticky residue. Just make sure you pull parallel to the hood. If you pull up and away from the hood it will tear, but you're not going to hurt anything.
