Just bought Yaris. Q about removing dealer added pinstriping?

[twowheels]

Just picked up my new '09 Yaris on Saturday. It was the ONLY one in Northern CA with cruise control -- in fact the dealer that I got it from had previously traded it from a dealer in NV, which is the only reason that there was even this one. I manged to get it @ invoice, minus the current $1000 rebate. $1000 under invoice seemed like a good deal.

It's an '09 2 dr, manual, in meteorite metallic. Has cruise, power package with steel wheels, keyless entry, all weather guard, center armrest, mats...

Anyhow, the dealer in NV had added their own "Mountain Package" or some such garbage that was basically two pin stripes and some plastic along the edges of the doors to protect against dings. The original dealer's paperwork was in the glove box and it said that they'd added $1500 for this package!!! Yikes! Don't worry, I didn't pay for their $20 worth of plastic.

Anyhow, we don't like the pinstripe. I'm inclined to remove it, and being as the car is new I probably don't have to worry about fading around the pinstripe, but reading the various threads here about bad paint has me wondering if I'd be best off just leaving it alone.

Opinions? Will heating the pinstripe to remove it and removing the residue with some sort of bug/tar cleaner do anything nasty to the paint?

Thanks!
