i dunno about the s-14, but the s-13 has that ugly black stripe that runs down the bottom of my car. i think its kinda ugly....anyways i was wondering if anyone has done anything to make it look better? i was thinking of taking it off but i didnt know if there was paint under the black strip or not. i guess you could just fill it in with bondo?

i just pulled on mine and it came off. just watch out some paint may come off with it. do it carefully and you'll be fine.

you can use dental floss under it would help and a blow dryer to warm it up

I emailed you guys the pics, but let me know if they're bad quality or whatever. I am going to take new pics tomorrow night, and hopefully get them on here either tomorrow or friday(I suck with digital pics and hosting them).

i didn't use a hair dryer. on the metal it came off super good, except for a part of the door i discovered had been repainted before.i used goo gone on the bumpers. it was a lot harder to get it off the bumpers.

i would have used a hair dryer if i didnt have to park a 2 minute walk from the nearest outlet
