removing body molding

OK guys, once the weather warms up, and the streets aint so slushy, I'll take the car for a bath, and then throw on some E-Tape and snap a few pics for you all. :thumbsup:

use a heater and dental floss, youll have it done in no time.

why electrical tape when you can photoshop it?

in gunmetal to match the rims



and in black

none both ugly, sorry
heat gun is the way to go i used a wide moulding scrapper i have start at one end using the heat gun to heat up the double sided tape
if ya don`t have laquer thinner or dx 440 ya can always go old school and use ur thumb roll of the tape

nm, they are back

ok, i took the molding off, didnt really notice a difference on the car, but i knew i wasnt going to put it back on.

then after photoshoppin it, i decided to do it gunmetal, again, it's not very noticeable, so whether you think it's cool, or gay, it's not overly cool or overly gay, get my point? i personally like it and i'll have pics up soon.

edit:

oh yea, and my clearcoat was chipping off in pieces where the molding was, i could seriously scrape it with my fingernail, and there was some residue on the bottom that wouldnt come off, even with elbow grease and goo gone. and i basically painted the molding and put it back on to cover that up.

Hey what color is that? I've never seen an alero in that color I don't think... looks really good man...

Also, what rims are those..? :P

It's opala blue, offered only in '99 (I think).

My car is the same color.
