Default Question on installing fender stripes

I got some stripes from vettestripes.

Was curious if they are easily removed after installing them, if I decide I don't like them.

Also, the instructions online say to use some baby shampoo mixed with water. Is dish soap ok?

Yes easy to come off. Just peel it off at one corner and pull slowly. I used dish soap and water. Worked just fine.

Stripes I took off about 1-2 months ago.

Dish soap will work fine and allow you to position the stripes just where you want them. And yes, they should come back off pretty easily if you don't like them.

Use a hair dryer to heat them up and they peel right off.
