Removing Rally Stripes ?

How hard is it to take the dealer installed rally stripes off ? Is there a special way to take them off ? Will it leave any marks ? Thanks ahead of time.

Ive heard people say they use a hair dryer. Just make sure you remove them when you buy the car so it wont leave any marks. That's what I heard though. Not sure if it works.

Heat gun. Don't think a hair dryer will get hot enough. There shouldn't be any damage. Just put a coat of wax on her and go.

I have owned the car since last September will that make a difference in removing them ?

Yep Hair Dryer dosent work well. Takes way too much time. A heat gun will work best.

I used a hair dryer. They came off whith no marks. It will take a little time. i had my son hold the ahir dtyer as I pulled the material back and off a little at a time. If you have never used a heat gun you can distroy your paint. I have since had mine painted on and so gald I did as the shine matched with one layer of clear. Good luck!
