!Molding w/ lots of pics Bored and a day off = !molding
Before
now for my amazingly how-to
materials
I started by doing the whole heat it up w/ a blow dryer and use dental floss in a sawing motion
and this is what i was left with
and i thumbed the rest
the result
took about 10-15 minutes
now i tried something else cause i figure that took to long
so i just used my man muscles and ripped door piece off
then i sprayed the sticker remover on it , and then i heated it up with the dryer. IT came off like butter took me a total of about 5 minutes for the last 2
the result
not hard at all
and next? TO THE CAR WASH!

Looks much better without molding, but I can't believe you did it outside in the cold. I would have froze to death, but at least the beer stayed cold.. 
Nice work.
Nice work.

Thats the same way I took them off on my last car with the DSR but I used a heat gun instead of the blow dryer and it worked great.

It looks a little better but I did that to my RS and I started getting some door dings so I got the dings fixed and put them back on. If you never park it next to any other cars it's cool but to me it's not worth the door dings. When I put them back on that's when I noticed all the little scuffs on them that most likely prevented a lot of dings. I won't buy a car without them now.
