FYI! You will notice a color difference from where the paint was covered from the stripes and what was not covered. You may want to buff it out and the color difference won't be as noticeable.

i was told a hair drier will help take them off real easy, and a regular hair drier wont get hot enough to hurt anything like a heat gun will

i have heard of that method to take off emblems and stuff along those lines and it works really well, but in my current location and situation the soap idea is going to have to be the first thing i try because taking them off with nothing really isn't very easy......spoiler took me nearly an hour
