any pics of the damage? although im not surprised at what happened, i hear of people removing those pin stripes all the time (both on sn95's and foxes) without mentioning anything of it removing the paint too.

although you dont get to drive the car, its gotta be nice to be having it worked on while youre overseas. i know like probably most of us, if i dont touch my car, it doesnt get worked on, lol.

lol, at least you have a dad that is willing to work on your car. hell, i wish my dad would take an interest in cars in general, let alone have him work on them.

with all the other black stuff on your car, i dont think it would look out of place. at the very least, it wouldnt look any worse than the tan stripe did. im sure it will look fine, especially so when youre saying you only plan on it being temporary.

That's why I hate pinstripes/decals/vinyls, they ALWAYS leave something or take something from your car :(. I only allow me and my father to touch my car, no-one else :p. Bet you cant wait to get back and drive it lol.

I think the black would look pretty good actually. That was 1 thing I told Josh not to do on my car. I didn't want the pin stripe!! Cool that your car will look nicer than you left it, I think.

is your car pacific green? what color are you painting it; back to factory color? if you go with a darker green like DFG, id highly suggest ditching the black bezels for tinted lenses instead.

Sadly no, August 8th is when we are going back up and I have slicks now :p. My sister's wedding is this month, so no time to head up. I have done practice runs on deserted highways(praires are AWESOME!) and instead of choking out at the higher RPMs, it's pulling hard again, 4th is the most noticable gain. Im hoping to get into the low 15s this time :p.
