Question Fender Stripe?!?!?!?!

OK, so i want the fender hash marks for my 08 Cobalt, BUT i have that gay little pen stripe on my car.. how would i get this off?? because i don't think it will look very good just putting the stripes of that pen stripe...

ALSO if anyone has a RED cobalt with BLACK stripes id love to see some pics b/c I'm still not sure which size i want the 3in or the 5in wide stripe..

and here's a pic of my pen stripe of anyone didn't know what i was talking about..



Thanks!

Heat it up with a hairdryer and pull away.

It shouldn't it's just pin striping, some dealers use the same thing on the trunk lid for their dealer badges.

Exactly. And if there is any residue. Just rub it off with some goo-gone.

You could also use plasti-dip. Mask off your stripe. Spray it. If you don't like it Peel it off. Then just retape and spray to desired width. You could also use this stuff as a primer for your base and clear. That way you could steel Peel it off. And have a nice finished look.
