Use a heat gun or hair dryer Peel right off in less then 5 min both sides. Ours were on for over a year and NO marks or anything showing where they were!

I was going to peel mine, but after I put the color matched side skirts on it looked much better so it stays for now. That plus the bullet wheels made a huge difference.

you dont need no heat gun. Just a hot day and a long finger nail does the trick. I pulled my side stripes off, no problems.

Britinastang,
I guess it's all relitive! The day I took ours off it was a high of 50 degrees (yes that's 'F') We needed the heat gun! Stripe was 'chipping' and coming off in tiny pieces. I went and grabed the heat gun and wala the whole stripe pulled off with a little heat.

jcoggin,
The adhesive came off with the stripe on our stripes.
