They are one inch apart and pre set like that when I got them. I'm thinking of changing them up though. Not sure to what. Thanks for the compliments.

I'm thinking of doing the 5" silver stripes that AM sells. Any guesses as to how easy (or hard) it would be to remove them if/when I ever want to change things up? Do they simply peel off or is there some kind of special process to get them off?

I was actually thinking of taking them off and doing something different. They peel off though. You can use some Goo Gone to get the residue that's left off your paint after that though.

You need two things to remove vinyl cleanly...
1. A nice hot day and your car in the sun. The hotter the better.
2. Your hands. Sometimes a heat gun if step one isn't hot enough.

If you have any glue residue left behind from the vinyl, use a piece of vinyl with sticky still on it and stick and unstick the area. Clean up area with glass cleaner. I use the cleaner the leave when they replace my windshields. Then I wash the car after I get it off and before I put on the new vinyl.

My company has several wrapped cars and trucks. My jeep alone has been wrapped 3 times in two years just to keep things fresh.

What color are you going with if you change the stripes, Steve?

I always thought that DIB might look pretty nice with light blue metallic stripes, or maybe even gold.

I'm wondering how the 5" silver stripes would looks with either a neon green or bright orange outline (just on the putter sides of the stripes) would look. Might be a nice accent. But then again, might not look right.
