Peeled Window Tape and Other Cheap Mods

I just pulled the tape from my A pillar and after looking at it I don't know why they ever would have put it there in the first place. Looks soo much better with out it. Oh yeah, anyone thinking about doing this DEFINATELY let your car sit in the sun awhile to losen things up a bit. Though I could get away with it in the shade since it was a nice hot 82° out today. First side in the sun came off no problem. The shaded side.... well, my fingers are still sore from pulling tape lol.
So on saturday i was sittin around bored and decided it was time for the a-pillar tape to go. the whole process took almost an hour for both sides. my only problem is on the window side of the pillar, there are little scraps of vinyl that didnt come off, and they are really hard to get out now. any suggestions of how to get the little scraps out?

I'd love to see what a silver box would look like with all the tape peeled. I'm really thinking about peeling just the A pillar (and there's a pic of it on p3 in this topic I believe), but I would love to see another silver box out there with it all peeled. I think the white box looks pretty awesome peeled.
I would like to see a RS6.0 with the A-Pillar tape removed. Anyone with a picture????

Man, dunno how I missed this thread after I bought my car in March. I always wondered what the point of the tape/vinyl was, now I have even noticed it on my Sonata doors.
I decided to keep the door trim tape because I think its protective use if very important. The A pillar on the other hand has always been ugly to me. Likin it much better!

Oh, but as a quick addendum if you have bat's bumper overlay on your box, you might want to keep some of that tape on there as it goes great together in my opinion.
