ReStripe???

Im gonna be restriping my car in the next few weeks. Should I re do the pinstripe as well or just do the stripes?? I messed around in Paint with it and I think just plain stripes looks good but Im not about to post my childish pics. Anyone want take a stab at Photoshop and remove the pinstripes, oh and put the stripes all the way down to the front of the bumper?

That DOES look good. looks like mine.

I had mine going all the way down, eventually i took em off the very bottom part and it looked great.
My bumper got hit and i threw a new one on now it looks a lot like yours. i would like to redo the stripes down the bumper to the top of the bottom valance, however, if i get some painted on soon there aint much point in worrying about it.

U used a hair dryer and a razor blade. Use the hair dryer and heat up the stripe then VERY CAREFULLY use a razor blade to get under the corner of the stripe. Then grab the corner and slowly pull off the stripe heating it as you go.

thats how i got my stock stripes off

Use a blow dryer to get the old ones off as well as to heat up the new ones around curves and letters in rear bumper. Just take your time plus get really thick good quality stripes.

Use alcohol or wax remover, just make sure you remove all traces of wax before you add the new ones.

thats where yours came from too.

no bigger than 8 inch on 99-04, 10 inch will be very difficult with the hoodscoop and the front bumper.

Looks good the way it is...

I've been considering putting white pinstriped on mine, I'm not sure if it will look good on the yellow because of the white interior and top, or if it will just look out of place.

I got mine at Rallystripe but I would look to see if someone makes something a bit more durable. Since this will be the 2nd time for you ask each vendor to send you a little sample so you can compare. I would of liked if stripe had more of a shine.
