another pinstripe question

on my 99 civic, would the paint have faded enough to notice if i removed my pinstripe? i dont think so, but i want reassurance before i start removing it. I dont want a civic that is two shades of milano red.
also, whats the best method for removal. i have heard just a plastic razor and a hairdryer, but if you have something better, let me know

Depends on where you keep your car. If you keep it garaged you shouldn't have a problem. But if you're like most people you keep your car outdoors. On a 99' you'll notice some difference in the paint.

I would not use a razorblade on the body of the car. If there was a decal on a window, then you would use a razorblade. But your best bet with a decal on the body of your car would be using some goo gone, and then blowdry the sucker. Good luck.

I removed mine, have a 99 too, and only i notice the difference because I'm the one that removed it, If I ask anyone else they are like "what are you talking about" There is a difference but not much at all. I say go for it.
