I used a hair dryer and just peeled them off. I hardly had any adhesive stay on the paint and what very little didn't come off I used some WD-40.

was the paint faded very much after the side molding delete? Id be mad if i took it off and have a 2" wide **** line all the way down the side of my car. I think camaros look better without the side moldings.
