get a hair dryer and heat the area where the mouding is so the tape underneath will loosen up, and slowly pull the piece off. once the piece os off, there will be tape left on the car, which will hafta be rolled off using your thumbs (wear gloves to avoid getting blisters). there will be some pieces of tape that are stil stuck to the car, remove this by buffing it with tree sap/tar remover. now step back and pray that the area where the tape was isnt a different color than the rest of the car, due to faded paint if the paint hasnt been well taken care of.

Use a blowdryer, get the area nice and hot and use dental floss and work ur way till u get the molding off. Then use goo be gone to remove the sticky stuff that will most likely be left behind. The dental floss works nicely, just a little trick of the trade.

Get rid of the moldings. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

I love GFX on our cars and I love that wing... I personally would keep the side mouldings on a GFX car...

Regardless, any more pics of that bad boy? I'm dying to see some...
