I just peeled mine off with my hands very carefully and you have to have nails.

Were pinstripes an option on aleros? I have seen plenty of both with and without.

this has been asked so many times, go to the local body shop supplier and buy a eraser wheel its a tool thats made to remove double sided tape stickers, vynil, and buy the arbor, put it in your drill and boom zip zip no more stickers

i got mine off with a hair dryer and my hands, and i have no nails. i'm still not done getting all the adhesive off (goo gone doesn't like to work in 20 degree weather), but it's not really noticeable. just peel it off, goo gone the adhesive, wash and wax. it's really easy!

they were a dealer-added thingy. some dealerships even put on the Razzi kit on GLS models, for the "sporty" buyers. pinstripes were just to entice some buyers into the Alero. Kinda funny tactic, since so many people take them off right after they buy it. lol

I just took one off of a 96 camry that someone brought into the shop.

I did it without a hairdryer and i barely have nails. The trick is to get the stripe up and CAREFULLY/SLOWLY pull the stripe back, stop....get your finger closer to the part that is still stuck on and peel back.....repeat process until its off. I set a record on the camry....got the whole stripe off the qtr panel without it breaking!:coolio: haha


Using a hairdryer is easier though;)

we had a guy who got work done to his 03 malibu and he WANTED the pinstripe put back on. He was telling our teacher that the pinstripe was his favorite part of the car:No::banghead:

Looks like someone was running a Cold Air Intake during the time of that picture being taken. :)

I had posted the same thing a while back, mine came with the stock pin stripe as well but after getting keyed its tore all to hell now. It was recommended to me to use a rubber knife blade or a knife blade wrapped in a wash cloth or something of the sort. I still havent got to it yet though...
if not use the go to items! 1. gorilla glue 2. gorilla tape 3. goo gone 4. a crowbar. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!:lol:

Mine peeled right off just using my hands. It was really easy to remove.
