It shouldn't take more than 2 rolls.
Stealth, just heat it up a little bit and use your finger nail, if you have any. That's how I did mine. Or you could *very gently* run a razor blade over it. Just be sure not to cut the light. And then just peel the pinstripe off.

Good call Marie !  Exactly what she said...and her 2nd suggestion will work for you aswell. 
Just to further emphasis on what Marie had suggested:
** Unroll the stripe, then with the paper still covering the adhesive, apply a SMALL amount of heat using a hairdryer set on low, from several inches away. If you can feel a difference in temperature, that's enough. The added heat should allow you to stretch the stripe a little more, thus making it easier to negotiate tighter corners with the vinyl. If you don't want to cut the vinyl while it's on the light, this is definately the way to go.**
Hope this helps ya man. If you need anymore help or clarification, don't hesitate to ask....that's what we're all here for.

I'd "chalk that up to" crappy pinstriping material. There are SO many brands out there, it's truly tough to pinpoint the good and/or bad ones. Sorry that mod didn't turn out for you Sarah, I'm with Kurt...it looked truly badass while it lasted.

wow looking through this, all you turned ugly tails into nice asses heh... thx to YoungBlood i know exactly what it looks like on a black alero.
This i think has got to be the 2nd best cost:effectiveness ratio (next to clearing corners) Im going to pinstripe it instead of buying A's clear tails and save 180 bucks heh.
Ill keep u guys updated

You're welcome, Blue and knowfear: post some pics bro, I don't think I'm alone in wanting to know what that would look like.

^Judging by other pictures I've seen of his ass, I'd say it's chrome.
