I know most of them are stuck on with double sided tape.Are the ones that go around the side markers the same way?Or do they have pins holding them there???

Stuck on with double sided tape. Not hard to remove unless you get the tape residue on the car and its a pain.

try using a heat gun or blow dry to take it off. should work!

When or if you put them back on using double sided tape, try the 3M tape. All the other Auto part store brands I have used never stuck worth a crap besided the 3M.

yes and make sure the body of the car is clean too

Thanks you guys.Time for a cleaner trimless look. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

3M general purpose adhesive cleaner is a good choice to remove the adhesive, also if you plan on putting the trim back on, make sure as much of the old tape is off the moulding. As well as the car itself like J9F3s said. The 3M tape is double sided trim and emblem tape, it comes in all widths. Just a warning, if there was any body work or paint work done on your car, alot of shops leave the molding on when they paint, make sure you dont have any paint work, or when you take the molding off, it might take the surrounding paint off with it, and there will be a hardline of paint where the molding once was as well.

Body shop supply places sell a wheel that you can chuck in a drill to remove adhesive with, and not damage the paint. I use them all the time to remove stripes and stuff. All you have to do when you get done is wax the area where the tape was.



Make sure your paint job isn't too old (look in the doorjambs to see if the outside is faded), if it is, you'll have a dark line where the trim was. Mine was repainted with the molding on, so I can't take it off.

My paint is stock so I don't really care about it.One day paint will come.After I kit it. :smirk: I just don't want the sticky residue.I'll remove it soon.Prolly today sometime. :bigthumg:

i hate it when they do that.

What do you have to do to the side markers when taking off the molding?

Do you need to take them off to remove the molding? One peice fell off of my door so I took it off both of them and Like the look a lot.



Thanks

you dont have to do anything to the side markers

Just removed the trim.Looks much better even with the stock chipped paint. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I removed all the cars trim..and it looks alot better...my car is black..so the trim on the bumper is the same color..and dont look diffrent..



The mold set gets warped from age...and a full set is close to $1000. and not worth putting it back ..

Just be careful not to tear of some paint when you take them off happend to a buddy of mine but he was a dumb ass and i think your pretty smart.

It dont matter how smart you are....the first gens are about 17-22 yrs old..and if the molding is from the factory then ..its probally stuck on there good as hell..
