tons of camaros have done it. you don't need a body shop to remove them, you can do it yourself with some heat and some goo gone or wd40.

BUT, if your car has been repainted, or your paint is faded, don't take them off for obvious reasons.

my paint was 13 years old at the time. Granted the car was either covered or garage kept and not DD but i used a little heat and some elbow grease with some "organic" adhiesive remover and took all my mouldings off. Just be careful with the heat, especially on the doors, it wil soften the paint quickly. I had to break out the airbrush and touch-up for one tiny spot. You could not see it, but i knew it was there.. LOL

It really cleans up the car.
