Default New pics of car with !side molding mod(56K beware)

I have been real hesistant to do this mod, but I finally got the Camaro garaged recently, so I did it today. It really did declutter the lines of the car and made a nice improvement. Except for rear rotors, I am pretty well done with the exterior appearance of the car now.

I forgot to add, if you do this mod, expect your thumb to be pretty sore afterwards from rolling all that tape

Not hard at all, used a blow dryer to heat them up some, and then just pulled back. The only tedious part is getting the leftover tape off after the molding is off.

It does look good! I have been wanting to do mine, but have been worried about the paint being messed up underneath...anything wrong with any of the paint when you took them off?

I am as bad of a clean freak as you can imagine, the only suprise that was under them was a lot of dirt which came right off.

Correct, if its messed up for some reason, you can always put it back. I really don't think your paint is going to be messed up underneath though you should be fine.
