side moulding removal
« on: June 17, 2009 - 10:30:30 AM »
hello all,anyone remove side moulding before?is there something to use that wont hurt the paint?the trim will peel off fine,but the two sided tape is left behind,i started removing it with my fingernail,but doing it that way is going to take a lot of time and finger nails,is there some type of adhesive remover out there that will do the job but not hurt the paint?
thanks

Mike the car looks great without the moldings and the magnum wheels really make the car stand out.

Remove the mud guards and add a hockey stick and I think you'd be done.

what a transformation..I had this discussion with another member about the side moldings..and he was a bit offended I think...your car looks sweet and I like the magnums..but I agree with the removeal of the mud flaps..just my opinion..awesome looking car...kind regards from  :canada:.. :bananasmi...Matt
