I removed one side of my side moldings today. I think it looks pretty sweet. I used a heat gun and adhesive remover.

james- when you took yours off was it easy? mine took a while. have any tips on faster ways to peel the left over adhesive off with?

haha i just did my side modldings today too!! pretty funny, i used a blow dryer, and it took me a while to get it started, but once i got it started i just yanked it off. only got one side done too, and i still have some of the goo crap still on my doors, did you get all that off, and what did you use? i tried my friends goof off and it didnt work to well, tomorrow im gonna try again with peanut butter and cooking oil, my moms recomendations im not sure whether i like it yet, and im a lil skeptical bout keepin it off cause it always seems like im bumpin it into things plus it saved my pain tin that little scuffo crap i was in last week., hehe i donno, after i get all that adhesive crap off ill see how i like it... i was gonna post the same question to james, about how he got the remaining crap off. great minds think alike

sprint springs didnt take that long. maybe a week and a half after I paid for them. that was ups ground.

moldings-well I started with a heat gun and it peeled off pretty easy then I had all that black crap still ont here and it was hard to get off. I rubbed most of it off with my fingers still using a heatgun and also some good stuff called adhesive remover. I'm not looking forward to the other side though. I got all my goo crap off. I think it makes my car look a little cleaner.

hey block that looks sweet, i dont really have any advice on getting it off quicker. just be patient and it will turn out really nice. i had to do alot of rubbing to get the remaining crap off but it was well worth it. remember to just be patient with it.
