I used fishingline to take my mouldngs off.. After that you will have the sticky adhesive left over.. You'll have to use your fingernaile to get that off, then goo gone, then wax and buff to get rid of any leftover markings.

Hair drier to heat the moulding can help to soften the adhesive, especially in the cold.

i did this and heating up the mouldings made a world of difference.

horsepower is the force that determines at what speed you hit the wall, torque is the force that determines how far you take the wall with you after you hit it.

I just pulled mine off. Got them started, and hauled it clean off. There was a bit of mess left behind, but i got it off with some elbow grease and some goo gone. I put on sunfire gt sides on mine so the area where the mouldings were is covered anyways. There is a really long thread on this somewhere. Sometimes the color may vary depending on age of the paint, and how well it was looked after.
