Cleaned and removed Pinstriping....

Looks much better without the pinstriping. Came off without a problem (just peeled) and then used goo be gone to take of the residual glue. What do you think?

hmmm i dunno... the pinstriping makes the car look very unique... although a bit ugly... but quite different from the everyday SLK.... haha i think you chose the right decision by removing it....

Good move on getting rid of the pinstriping.... I hate that stuff and the car looks so much cleaner without it.

Next step.... get rid of the SLK Badges and those "sport" badges on the side.
