If it were me I'd get the Black ones for $89 just because I like the color black ,but If I were on a budget I'd get the ones for $65

do you guys think that when i remove the stickers the paint will be a different shade?? Keep in mind that the paint has been very well maintained...
do you think it will look bad with the sticker on there? i guess ill just make the decision when everything is finished but jw what you guys think

I would think that it wouldn't be too bad since it's white, but if your OCD like myself it might bother you if it's just a little off..

i just removed my stripe with a drill mounted rubber wheel that they sell at napa and on the net......i had a difference in shades but i also was due for a polish and a wax so once i did that the two sections faded quite nicely into one another and 2 months later they are all the way integrated to one color...and that is on a shiny red runner...with white u will be fine....just let the area get some sun and oxidation for awhile after you strip and polish.... i say go black w/e you do...[for wheels]

for sure...the wheel comes about 5-6 inches across and is made out of industrial type eraser material...you put it in your drill tip and go up and down along the stripe..it essentially erases the stripe with ease..less than 15 minutes per side and you cannot damage your paint at all..trust me..it really is an amazin and quick little deal..just pay attention to the manufacturers guidlines about maximum rpm and your all good..then polish polish polish....g/luck

i would reccomend the simulation bead locks, got them on my truck and love the way they look and the lock sticks up and acts as a great bead protector, its saved my ass a few times.

I'd be careful with the rubber wheel. Too much time in one spot and you'll screw up the paint. I worked at Dodge in the "used car reconditioning" shop. And the body guys were showing us how to take stickers off cause we got a huge trade in from a lawn comopany so they had their stickers on the doors and whatnot. Some of the stickers weren't coming off very easily so he had to stay in the spot for a bit more and you could tell where he had stayed too long.

I'd just get a plastic razor and a heat gun personally. I never had any troubles with that

The eraser wheel is great but with white paint only, (all other color will be fine) the eraser will leave yellow marks on your paint making it impossible to get off, I paint cars and see this all the time. Use a heat gun or a hair dryer and mineral spirits or thinner to get the glue off

You can get the white wheels in a lot of different styles and they are a lot cheaper because they are less popular, use a scotch bright and scuff them real well and paint them your self. Just my opinion......
