it should come off like tape. just be cautious that if you got your car as second hand that clear coat may have been painted over the stripe. thats what happened to my previous car.

It's just a vinyl tape. If it's done at the factory, it may be between the clear and color coats so won't peel off without some serious damage. Just look closely and you should be able to tell if the clear is over it or not.

well a while back i went to this car wash that was self service which meant you pay and you drive your car thru. so as soon as i got out, i stepped out the car to inspect it and i see that the pin stripes were coming off, but behind it was yellow.. i wasnt sure if its paint or another sticker.??
