Pinstripe Vs. No Pinstripes
It was a nice warm day in the Atlanta area today. With a warm car surface I decided to go ahead and pull off the pinstripes that were installed by the dealer 
. Took me 15 minutes to take off pinstripes and the dealeradvertising stickers on the back of the TSX. Removed the leftover residue w/ bug and tar remover. Then went back and used a sealer and 2 layers of wax over the unprotected areas. Was very happy with the end results. 
Here are a few before and after pictures:

Nice. Looks mucho better without the pinstripes. Those things are tacky. The dealer sticker thing is perplexing. I wouldn't accept delivery either.
Nice RBP.

Thanks guys!! I was a little worried about messing up the new paint but it worked out great!!
yadfgp - Peachtree City is a great place to raise a family. It actually made the top 10 "best places to live" list. Very quiet community. They call it the Pleasantville of Georgia. The only drawback is their isn't much to do around here, but Atlanta is only a 30 minute drive away.

I took my dealer decal/sticker off the night that I signed the paperwork. I left it there for them to put on the mudflaps and fogs. When I went to pick it up again a new sticker was on the car. My salesman laughed as I pulled it off- he said that many of his customer do the same and pull it off even before they leave the lot. Thankfully it was a very easy sticker to pull off.

Not exactly the kind of dealer that I would want to advertise....he also sells Hyundai, Chevy, and Toyota- thankfully the Acura dealership is all by themselves....
