Stripes on top of 3M Invishield

Hey guys, I just bought a 06 MCS and I had the invishield installed. My question. Is it possible to put the stripes on top of the invishield? The dealer told me that they always put the clear shield on top of the stripes. Well what if you wanted to take the stripes off to replace them. Wouldn't you have to remove the clearshield and replace it??? Hmmm I think they're wanting to make some extra cash for another install....

Thanks

My stripes have been over my ClearBra for well over a year now and I have never had a problem. In fact, people still need to be reminded that the Clearbra is there as there isn't a real big offset where the stripes hit the edge of the Bra.

I've heard that they just peel off, but you can no longer use them. I'd suggest doing it carefully, though, cuz the ClearBra is pretty expensive to replace. I guess you could heat them slightly with a hair dryer...might make the removal easier.
