Good pics!..lol at first I didnt get what some of thos pics you posted were for

 

haha yea i tried to explain so it didnt look so random

 

Your car looks just like mine use to. Take off the pinstripe and she will be much sexier. She looks good though even with it.

 

whats the best way to take it off?

 

Is there black rubber around your fenderwells?

 

yea, its rubber or plastic

 

First use a heat gun to warm them up. Then use a razor blade (BE CAREFUL!!!) and start peeling them up. Get a friend if you can(I did it alone) to heat them up right in front of where you are pulling them up. Just use the razor blade to loosen them. (keep the blade at the point where the pinstripe and the paint meet.) If you are doing it right you can get the whole stripe to come off in one piece. It will take about an hour to do noth sides.

If there is glue left on the car, just use some Goo Gone, and then some 3m rubbing compound to get the rest off. Wash, Wax, and shine. Done.

Hope it helps.

 

what are the pinstripes for anyways?

 

I think they started off as a way to hide and blend the old two tone paintjobs together. But I am not sure on that.

 

A lot of manufactors did on base models to add some appearence points
