removing pin stripes is like de-badging..i had a friend who's G had pin stripes and he used a bug tar/sap remover..sprayed it on first..got a blow dryer..heat it for 5-7 minutes and slowly peel it off..if there's some goo left, spray it again with the tar remover and use a wet wash cloth and it should come off...best time to remove the pin stripes is when you're about to wash/wax your car because most tar removers have wax or shiny synthetic chemicals in them that make the area you use it on REALLY shiny, which will make your car look blotchy..but yeah basically that's it i believe

if its a new car that you bought from the dealer, you could ask them to remove it for you.
but.. you can also do it yourself with a hairdryer, goo gone, wax.
heat up the pin stripe orr just let your car sit out in the sun and then try to get one of the edges to peel and just peel it slowly until you get it all off. If excess glue is present, use goo gone on a cloth (preferably microfiber to not scratch paint) and get the glue off. After goo gone, wax the car to bring out the finish. enjoy. try not to scratch the car while you try to initially get the stripe peeling with your nail or credit card or w.e. and be patient.
