Lisa, are your refering to the uppser stripes that run down the sides of the car?
If so, im pretty sure u can just peel them off. When i was looking at my EB, it had them and some of it was lifting at the front, i havent bothered to take it off, but im thinking it can be done quite easily.
hay
if u mean the pin stripes yes they can be easly removed
u will need a pin stripe remover a pannel supply shop will be abel to sell u one they are bout $20 retail u put them in a drill (it looks like a small buff wheel yellow/cream in coulor and feels like real hard fome)
, and just buff the stripe off !!!!!!!!!!! ATT THESE WHEELS CAN ONLY BE USED ON 2K PAINT !!!!!!!!!!!!! USE THEM ON 1K OR ENAMAL AND U WILL TAKE PAINT OFF so make sure u have 2K before u do it
side strip would cost basically nothing to remove.
bumpers are an inteeresting issue. you would be either best to paint them one colour... or alternatively source some bumpers that lack that part (most likely a bodykit) which is where it becomes expensive
ohh my car. :$ I have since put mine back on, as there was weird scratchy swirky things in the paint, most likely from dirt getting under there. I would leave them on if i were you, perhaps colour code them?
If you do decide to remove them and find they're glued on, I wouldn't bother. I t willl take foreveer. Mine were just stuck on with double sided tape and came off quite painlessly. Good Luck!
Lisa, if your car has side repeaters, you will have two holes in the front gaurds, either side of the repeater.
They look very good painted, i did mine 5 years ago, it makes the car look alot more modern.
I was going to remove mine completely, but the holes made me decide to paint them.
you will need to rub them back with wet and dry, clean it with wax'n grease remover, prime them(with plastic primer), undercoat, rub back, clean, colour coat, rub, clean, clear top coat.
They are held on with double sided tape, but after ten or so years, it go's all hard and its a bitch to clean off.
