****... my guy and i took the pin stripes off his CRX the other day.. all it did was leave a little bit of glue, paint thinner took it right off... and didn't hurt the shiny red paint either. I don't see why everyone makes it such a big deal, in our case those suckers came off quite nicely. After the paint thinner we put on more prewax and turtle wax.. you know.. keep the paint looking nice. But yeah... wasn't hard for us.
