Default Removing Side Moldings = EZ!

I wanted to make my car smoother and eliminate those damn wax-catching moldings on the sides last weekend so I read up on here and armed myself with fishing line and a couple bottles of Goo-Gone. I had read a few threads of guys having a rough time with the leftover adhesive, so I was prepared for the worst. I set aside a couple hours with my gear and got into it.

5 minutes later I was done. Barely needed the fishing line or the Goo-Gone! I just worked up a corner and slowly peeled them off - and all the 2x tape came right off with it! I guess because my car is fairly new I got off easy, but it was really a breeze. It's always better to be overprepared though.....

my only pic so far:
