Go to your local professional carwash OR make friends with a body shop. Get them or yourself to use one of their high powered buffers and buff the hell out of the sides of your car, you will remove a fine layer of clear coat on the car and the pinstriping comes right off. That's what they did to my car and it looks FANTASTIC now with the pinstriping off. For the decals ane eclipse letters/name sake / trim package stickers take them off with a razor blade sideways (like you are removing a windsheild sticker or inspection sticker). Use WD-40 to remove the sticky goo.

I got frustrated and started scraping it off with a screwdriver because it wouldn't come off easily (the mitsu and GS stickers). Scratched up the whole trunk and made dents drove the screwdriver. Good thing I was repainting the whole car anyways...

I just peeled mine off on a hot Texas day. Approximately two days after I drove the car off the dealership.

I used isopropyl alcohol (the type you'll find in a medicine cabinet) to remove the reaming glue. But I've heard goo gone works well.

Ha same here Strauss. I was pissed and took both off w/ a razor blade and made a small scratch but now I want my GS back for the sleeper look.

to get my pinstripes off i first scraped the actual decal off with the end of a plastic shoehorn, then used gu-b-gone and a towel to get the glue crappies off..looks prefect now

the best way to get the eclipse letters of is heat them up real good witha hairdryer and at the same time slip a piece of fishing line to slowly peel them off one by one
