be very very careful if your use something sharp. I learned the hard way

i used a flat head with mine to remove the door gaurds, the car looks so much better without them. get a small enough flat head it will fit between the trim and the door without touching the paint. as long as you have steady hands, you'll be fine. and as spc said, start it with the flat head then use your hand for the rest of the way, then goo gone to clean up the adhesive and give a nice wax after words.

one bad thing about doing this is if the car has ever been repainted to a different color then once you take off the door gaurds you'll be in for a surprise... but im positive no one has changed the color of the car or repainted it.

very good work on the detail job btw.
