Lol, I was wondering the same thing not too long ago, if we are talking about the same thing. It`s those double lines that run from the front of our cars to the back. Not all the way, but yeah. Well the reason I wanted to take it off was because on the driver`s side the stripes are all there, and on the passenger side the stripes on the fender is gone! I don`t know why, but I just found out when I went to the bodyshop to check out my car.

Yup you can, very easily.
I took mine off.
I took a blow dyer and dont clip your fingernails. You will find the perfect temp in which it will come off easiest. I was able to remove a whole door panel with no problems.

Use a polishing compound to rub the sticky stuff off.
Dont use a scotchbrite or an eraser. I tried and had to buff off the scratches the scotchbrite left and the stains the eraser left.
There are special rubber erasers you can probably use, but it takes about the same time.
It took about 2-3 hours to remove the whole car and get it cleaned up.

Good luck! It was well worth it on my car!

I've seen a few cars with pinstripe decals down the whole thing, it's a $1.50 thing the dealer does and charges $150 for. .

I hope it's not the flames or the eagle's head decal that's in front of some TL's I've seen. LMAO.
