My accent has this really gay pinstriping on it from the dealer. Whats the best way to remove it without harming the paint underneath?

Heat it up w/ a hair dryer and pull it off. You might want to try a plastic (made out of it) razorblade or credit card or something to get under it.

Most auto parts houses sell an adhesive remover for bumper stickers and the like. I used a can of that and then a clay bar to remove the residue on my 2001 LC that came with pinstripes.

I just removed my graphics a couple weeks ago. The easiest was a heat gun and a can of oops. Goo-gone will work, but it takes a lot more of it, not to mention energy. If you use the Oops, just be sure to wash and rewax the area, as Oops also strips wax!
