I did what the guy above said, just pulled it off then took the adhesive off with a credit car but I used some stuff called autmotive wipe, wasn't really that greaat but it smelled like oranges.

Yup I just did that today, decided the black side mouldings didn't match a white car. I must say, it looks great without them. Now all I have to do is wait for a little longer forecast for nice weather so I can slap my white rims back on.Comment

I pulled mine off this week No prob. The easiest way to get the glue off is to use a credit card and Gum Out carb and choke cleaner. It wont hurt the paint and it dissolves the glue easily. It only took about an hour and a half to to do the whole thing and it looks great.-$|_|3$()|_()_z!-Comment
