Question Decal... the pin stripe on both sides?

I have two questions because my wife wants to keep the pin stripe on but I think it looks better without one.

I just replaced my front-passanger side door and fender. They came with no pin stripe. I have seen Aleros without a pin stripe and think it looks better. So my questions are:
  • Does anyone know an easy way to remove the pinstripe without damaging the paint?
  • Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find a matching pin stripe to match the original pin stripe?
I know I could call the dealership but I know they'll make me pay for it. There has to be a good source out there other then a dealership... right?

Thanks :-)

The pin stripe should come off with a little scraping (use some soft plastic object) and some Goo Gone. If it's been on a long time, you might end up with a line in the paint, though, due to the rest of your paint fading.
Any auto painting place should be able to help you find a pinstripe kit, either with paint or vinyl.

Re: Decal... the pin stripe on both sides?

I was thinking of using Goo Gone. I was going to water it down a bit so it wasn't so powerful. I'll try to find something around the house to scrape it off with. I was able to scrape it off with my fingernail but it would take a while to go around the whole car and my fingers would be very soar.

And it looked like the paint hadn't faded. Now it's a matter of convincing my wife that the car would look better without the pinstripe. ;-)

Thanks for the input!
