    Side mouldings. How to remove?

    Hello
    Since iv bought another 323 and it has side mouldings on and i dont like them and want to remove them. How to do it without scratching the paint.

    patience. there are some chemicals out there that'll take the glue off and not your paint. more patience.

    could always get in an accident, that seems to work everytime. lol j/k
    No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

          yeah just use goo gone - i'm pretty sure its clearcoat safe (citrus based). if you heat it up and your adhesive isn't trashed, it might pull off when you take off the moulding.

          otherwise, a little elbow grease will take it off as well.

            This is the best and easiest way to remove body mouldings.

              get goo gone, and spray it over the top lip of the modling, so it runs down behind the midling, let it soak for a bit, 1-2 min's. then get a heat gun and slowly with not alot of heat near your paint but on the plastic modling. and slowly remove it, it will leave quite a bit of glue on the car, you can use goo gone and get the rest off, i tryed different things best thing was mt thumb, and just rubbing it off, sore thumb after but got it off. i ahve done it on 3 cars, i am leaving them on my 323 this time and painting them
