How to remove pinstripe?

I still have the reflective strip on the sides of my G and I wanted to know how I could remove them.

Ive searched around a little bit but couldn't find anything.
Sorry if this is a re-post, I am a newbie .

Thanks

Post pictures... never seen reflective strips other than those integrated on the sides of our tails.

Since I've never seen a G35 with extra reflective strips anywhere else on the body, I would assume it's safe to remove 'em.

Oh, that's a pinstripe. Those can definitely be removed. You could use some GooGone or WD-40 to break down the adhesive... since it's just a vinyl sticker.
But, most people use a small razor blade (be very careful) to get under the pinstripe then they just peel the rest off. Voila.

make sure it is a sticker though before you try all of that because i bought my G35 used and it had a pinstripe on it but i was just going to remove it but it ends up being painted on...
