Are The Moldings Hard To Take Off? They Are On Like Concrete. How Did You Get Them Off.

use fishing line. put it btween the molding and the car and floss all the way from one end to the other. that will get the molding off. there will be glue left behind. i rolled it off with my thumb. lots of blisters and pain, but it comes off relatively asily. use a glue adhesive to take of the little bits and rsidue. watch out for paint problems though if you have a dark car or an old one or if its been repainted. yours is newr than miney, and i doubt the black faded so you should be ok unless it was repainted

Less is more, the !molding mod always looks better. I actually like your stripes.

I slid fishing wire behind my moldings to get them off, then rubbed off the remaining adheasive with my poor fingers.

I just used a heat gun with mine and very slowly pulled them off. It left a tiny bit of sticky residue but a little thumb rubbing took that off as well. It was very easy.

I just did the same thing this weekend. Mine is a 96 and the black seems to be pretty even.

+1 for the heat gun. you'll still have to rub your thumbs to death though.
