Default Removing Black Bird Stripes

I recently put some Ram Air black bird style stripes on my Trans Am I liked them at first but now I think they are taking away from the car I think the black bird stripes only look good on certain colors & imo it doesn't look that hot on pewter.now the question is how do I get these stripes off and how do I clean the remaining sticker glue off of my hood?

Use a heat gun or hairdryer. It will peel right off and usually take almost all the glue with it. Be careful not to get it to hot and possibly damage your paint.

if it is fresh the heat gun will work great, Oreilly auto parts also carry a decal remover spray and it works great and wil not damage your paint,, for decals that have faded a dry ad craked up such as boat striping they make a wheel that goes into a drill and will erase the vinyl material, hope this ifo helps
