Default Removing Interior Stick-On Trim Pieces

One of the previous owners of my SS had put on a wood grain trim kit into the interior, but IMO it looks like crap. It's stuck on there pretty good. How can I remove this without messing up my interior pieces?
I would just leave it, but some of the pieces are chipped on the edges and faded, plus it just looks tacky. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Try a hair dryer to soften the glue, and pull the "wood" off, then use Goo Gone to get rid of any adhesive. IMHO it is going to be a TON of work. Might be easier to just get ne trim peices. Also try a junk yard for replacement trim.

Usually before you apply any kind of adhesive trim you wipe the area with rubbing alcohol to remove any residue. This will slightly fade/dull the plastic underneath. You may see if someone will trade pieces with you in the classifieds.

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking. Oh well, guess i'm stuck with "wood" for awhile. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

The problem with trading is that the stuff is everywhere! I'd have to pull almost the whole interior.
