Haha nice. Maybe I wasn't thinking clearly but when I heard "pinstripes on the Z" I automatically thought of the pinstripe pants....then I proceeded to think of all those stripes running up 'n down the Z... =/.

Wow....I can't believe they wasted that much money to put something as tacky as that on a brand new car...if anything, that would hinder me from purchasing the car from that dealership

I bet you could get one at an auto parts store. PM me if you need a pic of the thing.


+1 on this thing. Its awesome, removes bascially anything thats on top of a clear coat and wont damage the clear or whats under it, removes pin-stripes (painted and stick on), glue, sticker residue. Definitly recommend using this above anything. Will take about 30seconds per side of the car and you just wipe away the "erasings."

Vertical stripes on a car? Its an original idea but I’ll pass.

It actually looks nice, and unique. Don't take it off.

Most detailing shops can easily remove the tape type stripes. My wife's Maxima had them and she didn't like them so I had a deatiling shop take them right off for $30.

The dealers here in Miami also like to strip every car that comes in for that $300 extra profit.
