Hey guys,
I have a vs equips. It had the black stripes up the side with a green Lin right down the middle. It looks horrible. I just brought the car 2 days ago. I just want it off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank.

If they're anything like the VN ones I ripped off when I was younger, they just peel off. They're just stuck on with non-hardening adhesive.

Yea, pretty sure it is the same.

Just get one end started and rip it off. Though I think you might find it looks worse with it off, the VS had grooves for said strips? So with them off you just have trenches on the side of your car...


Maybe paint them instead of removing. Bit of masking tape and some newspaper....

Guess it's self adhesive decal?

Warm it up with a hair dryer first otherwise you might lift the paint.

It's a bitch job. It doesn't look so bad without the trolley strips though.
