🔧 BUILD I did a thing.. (3 doors, turbo, DCT, not a 3800)

Why didn’t u just peel them up with your finger? I’ve taken many of these stripes off of vehicles traded in and I’m usually done in 10-15 min. All u do is leave the car in the sun for an hour and they should come right up by pulling from one side. If there is ever any glue left, u can use a little bit of goo gone or 3m adhesive remover. And done

man that looks like a lotta work for some tiny little stripes

Omg I can’t believe I just watched all those videos. All I did was shake my head

 

[Fish]

Ohh man. The car salesman on the internet doesn’t like how I took pinstripes off my own car. He didn’t like me doing things different than himself and trying out my new toys.

Damn dude, fuck me for not doing it your own way. FYI, my pinstripes didn’t want to peel off nicely like yours apparently do.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Heat gun and some fishing line.

You threw dynamite at an ant hill.

At least the pinstripe is gone looks good.

You did a great job and time well spent. Keep up the good work and I’ll be sure to suscribe to your you tube videos for future progress.

Pinstripes not badges smart ass. ?

I’d love to see you get test line behind something thinner than itself.

Someone lock this thread. I’m done talking about my car on a car site. Apparently it is the wrong kind and I can’t do things differently.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Or maybe there are multiple ways to do the same thing. Mission accomplished. Good job.

Why are you being so offended?

 

[Fish]

Alright, had some time to calm down. Been a bad couple days. ??

I was washing my car regardless. It was happening. I figured since I was, I’d “overkill” the pinstripes. We overkill a lot of things and no one bats an eye. I overkill something and it’s “you’re an idiot” vibes in here. If I wanted to feel like an idiot, I don’t have to come to TCG to do it. That’s why I got upset.

Hope that makes sense. Sorry if I got a little personal The Beast just wasn’t a good thing to read after basically hearing how I am an idiot the last few days. My thought process was hey, do something extra and maybe help out and create that content mook keeps talking about and I get shat on. Not a good feeling.

I don’t care what people say about my occupation I’m blessed. I was not making fun of u and I was shaking my head because I could have saved you a lot of time and aggravation and of course money on buying the wheel eraser. Your stripes are not that old either way they came off that’s all that matters.

Nothing wrong with trying a different approach, but you gotta have a little thicker skin and not get so offended when others ask why or point out alternatives that may work better. It'd be like the guy that removes the motor from his car in order to change spark plugs getting irritated at folks for pointing out that he just needs an extension and swivel for his socket wrench.

Maybe do a follow up video of trying to remove them with some heat to demonstrate different ways to remove pinstripes, and then you can evaluate which was more effective for your situation.

Funny you mention.



I’d say my skin is pretty thick. Compared to how I was back in the day. Like I said. Just a rough patch and if water can erode rock, thick skin can be exposed. I just take a different approach and will say it and own up when I feel I am out of line. Which is why I posted again this morning.
