I'm afraid of that happening to mine, as I'm 99% certain one side has been painted over.

Fortunately, it really only takes just a few minutes to put the molding back on. Just take the advice from other people from in this thread and do one of the small peices first rather than jumping in all the way like I did.

I actually only decided to !molding/!badges after your last set of pics. You've got one clean looking car.

Sorry to hear about that man!

I'd never debadge or remove the side molding no matter who has done it and says its badass. I myself really don't like them removed.

Good luck,
Craig.

I should have taken pictures with the molding off, but I'll snap a few shots later on where you can see the problem.

I didn't check mine before I did it, luckily it hasn't been repainted before.

If you're going to do it, best do it before paint has time to fade. It is one of the best mods I have done, but my car was relatively new when I removed the molding.
