they just end in the middle of nowhere...if you want to keep them i would wrap them around the back of the car with the trunk line as a guide. if not trash em

why is it only our white balts have the pin stripes? Thats the only color i've seen them on but i bet there are on all color models. I would try the trunk wrap like Jusday said but i wouldn't trash'em imo

I know it's too late since you've already taken them off but I like the looks of pinstripes on Cobalts. I put a black one on my car and I love the look.

Mine had pinstripes on it when I bought it. I left them on for a while, like a couple months, then one day while washing the car the head porter, who also has a yellow SS/SC, after giving me **** about them and telling me to take them off, just grabbed one and ripped it off, saying that he wasn't going to let me keep them anymore. By the time we got done, the trunk was debaged too. Car looks so much better clean.

No offense but why does EVERYONE say gas or Kerosene???? they make stuff DESIGNED for a car. Turtle Wax bug and tar remover, goo gone, and goo gone Xtreme. I have all 3 and there is NOTHING that those will not get off my car.

^^ Agreed. "dabbing some gas on a rag" to clean your car is the most hillbilly thing I've heard today.

ya i used 3M automotive adhesive remover. It worked like a dream and also works very well for those AVS logos lol. I just got back from a 12 hour shift at work but tmrw after work i should take off the side moldings. I didnt mind them till you guys started talking **** about them lol. And now the more i look at them the more they look...cheap.


Ohh and i love that sig BTW lol, I got it off tht site, i cant really rmber rite now. But nice job. Now iff only someone could make me a custom sig... =)
