How hard was it to take off the ugly orange and red corners?

How hard was it to take off the ugly orange and red corners? It was hard to take them off but luckily I was able to not mess up the paint. It was hard. I used a screw drivers and towel and sealed them with silicone. Two were hard to take off and two were easy to take off. Anybody had any of these experiences? Did anyone scratch the paint or indent it?

Not sure about the rears, but the front was pretty easy. On a scale of 1 to 10, the latter being the hardest - i'd say it was a 1.

Yeah 1 for me too. The hardest part is to not scratch the paint, but with a towel no problem. The ones you thought were really hard probably were the rears. You might not have been taking them out correctly. You have to put pressure on from the back of the corner towards the front of the car and pull out with the screwdriver at the same time.
