Nice looking kit, I like it alot. Do have to agree remove the pinstripe.
The bst way to remove the pinstripe is to heat it up with a hairdryer, this loosens the glue and reduces the potential to damage the paintwork, no need to use cards etc, as it will just peel off. Raiser blocks would finish the car off nicely. |

When I had decals on my car, I VERY CAREFULLY used a propane torch (also very handy in getting off brake rotors that are stubborn). You just touch the flame to the decal part and it melts off...then a car wash to get off any extra residue. That was very simply and took no time at all...literally maybe 30 seconds. Longest part was waiting for it to cool a couple seconds before peeling again because it gets hot.
Don't a bunch of people post saying I'm an idiot for doing this. I've seen it done before professionally and is actually where I got the idea. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT
