yes..Lots of ways to remove them, heat gun, decal stripping wheel, just grab an edge & carefully peel....Once removed if the paint is oxidized you'll need to buff the paint so the old decal location doesn't show...

if theyve been on that long, chances are the stripes will leave indentations in the paint. Get ready for a repaint

Best bet is a heat gun. You will most likely have glue left over to remove after which is worse then pulling the stickers. You can use something like Dupont final; clean or some Prep-Sol to remove the glue. Then you will have to buff the paint out.
Chances are you will still see a shadow of wear the stripe was how bad depends on the color od the car. Worth a shot though. I just pulled all the stickers off of a Fire Chiefs car and when it was done and buffed out you couldnt tell they were there but the car was white.
How ever if you are replacing it doesnt really matter.

If you read what the original poster asked he intends to replace the stripes, once the new stripes are in place you won't see any variation in the paint that is covered with a new stripe...
Thanks....he also said the were "slightly crooked" So Im guessing they wont be in the same place
