Default Removed the stripes

I always intended to remove the silver stripes. I saw a picture of one with them removed and liked the all black look. what a royal pain in the *** to remove 10 year old vinyl! Not only did they keep tearing, but the residue was harder to remove than normal. Usually a little Wd40 is all that's need, but I used rubbing alcohol and wd40 back to back and it still took forever.

Now that it's done, it looks a little to plain. I think i'll get a red RR954 sticker for the tail and maybe a Red Honda sticker to replace the black one on the tank. Needs more red!

I applaud your effort and time, but....... the look of the 954 with those decals removed reminds me of a car with replaced doors that are different colors, you know like a maroon front door, green back door, and white body......
