Question Pinstripe removal?

I own a 03 TL-S ABP. Going down the side of the car is a red & grey pinstripe. How much darker will the paint be under the pinstripe? Or should I just leave it on? Give me your thanx

Is the car garage kept? How often is it left outside in direct sunlight?
How often is the car waxed/polished?
Is the pinstripe painted or tape?

It'll probably be fine as long as it's not painted on. Just start at the ends and slowly pull it up. Heat will help (think...hairdryer) but is not necessary. Use Goo-gone or bug remover to get the residue off from the glue backing.
