Also considering that your car is plain white, you may be able to find a decent color match in hardware store spray paint. It won't look perfect but better than all dented up like it is now.

I've heard that mayo softens up decals so you can remove then easier.. but I've never tried it. For my stripes I just took a razor blade to get it started, then kept pulling at a 90* angle slowly.

the color might be ALITTLE different but it shouldnt be noticable expetialy after you clean and wax the car!

also parking the car out in the sun for an hour on the pin striping should make it alot easier to just peel it off with your finger nail... once ya get it going the rest will hopefully just peel off without breaking so much. or you could use a heat gun or hair dryer.... and any left over sticky glue some simple GLUE GONE and a rag will take care of it no problem.
