Default !sidemolding

hey guys I have an ss with 13k miles. I really want to take my side molding off but I am naturally scared because my car is black. Is this an easy thing to do and what are the chances that I will screw the paint up???????



also does anyone have pics of black camaros with the !sidemolding????????

You can't screw it up. Do it.
But if it's been repainted without taking the molding off beforehand, ..., then you'll have trouble.

take rear spring isolators off and slide a hose over the spring.... it acts as a small contact between the body and the spring.... lowers the car a little
