Thinking about removing the side panels
On my camaro, what did you guys use? I am thinking of using fishing line, just working it behind the panel and cutting it down.

Are you speaking in terms of the side molding? If so, then yes that is what most people use. Either that or dental floss, since it's probably softer and less abrasive.

i put a 500* heat gun to it and got the molding off, to get the glue off i soaked it with bug and tar remover for about 10min then ised a verry sharp razor blade to get it off, then wiped it down with "opps", i didnt scratch it or anything it was faded a little bit so i wet sanded it with 2000 grit and compounded it out then put some meguires #7 on it to polish it

Mine came off without any problems. The glue and tape came off almost completly with little to no residue. I only had to rub my thumb on the excess glue to get it roll off. I guess it can come off very easily, or be a huge pain in the ***. Do it, it will make the car look so much better. I have pics in my link in my sig, if you care to look.
