hey, i was looking through the gallery and none of the cars had pin stripes... did they come like that or did you have them removed?

I bought my car used, and it has the pin stripes, so i don't know whats standard

 

Most Honda/Acura pin striping is a dealer add on. My car had silver striping on it and I told the dealer to remove it before I purchased the car.

 

Most Integras come with pinstripes from the factory.

 

Removing them is a pretty painless process. Go to AutoZone, or what have you, and purchase a plastic razor, or sort of a plastic scraping utensil, and then buy some bumpersticker removal (I forget the brand name, but it doesn't hurt your paint, it's designed for removal from a car). Use a hairdryer or let the car sit on a hot day for a while, and scrape off the pinstripes (it could take 30 mins, it could take 3 hours) Afterwards, follow the bumper sticker remover instructions to remove the sticky goop that is left over.

Give the car a fresh wash afterwards and, voila! No more pinstripes.

 

Goo Gone

 

I've removed the pinstripes from 3 Hondas, and found that this "bumper sticker remover" (I'll post the actual name when I get off work) works much better than Goo Gone. Spray on, let sit for 3 mins, then it instantly will wipe off.

But, to each his own.

 

thanks for the info guys

 

took me 15 min to take mine off but there were 2 more people helping me hehe it was a really hot day and they came off really easy!

 

I've been lucky enough to never have to deal with pin striping on my honda's. But, I'm sure that after a few years of them being on there you would have to buff over them to get it to look normal. You would probably be able to see where they were when you got it off.

 

mine came with a white & maroon pinstripe. it was vinyl (or something similar) so i just took my time and peeled if off the car.
