Default Side Stripe Removal?

Hey, I just just wondering how to get these off. I think the car would look so much better without them...

I would think you could just scrap it off but weather it would leave any 3m tape behind is a differant story.

are you trying to get the rocker stripes off or the thing in the middle of your door?

Both should go... lol. I took off my rocker panel "mustang" stripes and the pin stripes. The car looks much better now IMO.

Like NYstang said, I used a hair dryer, 90* angle peeling, bug and tar remover to get the goo of instead of goo-gone... (goo-gone would have been better, but I didn't have any at the time), then wax over it. It also helped a lil since it was 95 degrees that day - I hardly used the hair dryer.

Thanks guys. I like my black decals, but I really don't like that strip thing.

I don't think my stickers would just peel off anyways...I think they have clear coat over them...
