Whats behind them? Just double sided tape or holes?
just glue. do a search on how to remove it and you'll find the best way.
Thanks!! Do you think I will have any problems getting the color behind them to match up with the current paint?
it's hit or miss. sometimes the paint is fine, other times it's not. take off a small piece of the door molding and check for paint fade. if it's bad, you can always put that small piece back on with some adhesive.
Look for previous repair/ paint work also. If it was repaired , its a good chance the person didnt take the moulding off to paint behind it, which leaves you with a nasty paint line where the moulding was.

I wish I could take mine off but the paint was bubbled up and came off when I tried to pull mine off, what makes mine bad is that my car is white and the moldings are black...so are the bumpers, so I'll probably just paint them white
Hmm..maybe I will just leave them on..I'm awfully afraid of whats undernieght!
Take a piece of fishing line and pull it behind one of the smaller pieces of the molding to seperate it from the tape/body. If the paint is faded bad around it, or you have a line from where the car was repainted once then just use 3M double sided tape to put it back on. Like Cannon said tho.. it's pretty much hit or miss.

just take a small piece off. it'll probably be fine, but you won't know unless you do it. there's nothing to be afraid of.
Yeah I agree it's worth a shot, and when they're off it makes the car look really slick, I wasn't so lucky though, so I'm just going to put white moldings on mine, until I can get a new paint job
im never taking mine off now. we had a really windy day and my door got pushed pretty hard into the corner of te house i was parked beside. molding saved my door.

Yeah they do that as well, mine has saved me a few times too, I also like my unpainted @!#$ ass bumpers for only one reason...I can hit stuff and won't have to worry about messing the paint up, but anyway I'm still going to change them cuz they're ugly. can you say...Z24door
