Can this be removed?

Just wondering if I can replaced this part of the door or do I have to take it to a shop to fix? Anyone know a DIY?

Never had to take mine off. Painted it while it was on with the help of a bunch of notecards. Slide em in there and you are good to paint

I've taken mine off before, required quite a bit of force...better off just to repaint the whole damn thing IMO. I almost broke the thing when pulling it off.

You're not going to find that pearl white anywhere. I've looked since my car is the same color. Of course this was a little while back so you might have better luck now.

You have some good sized scratches on those door pieces. It would probably be best to go to a couple body shops and have them look at it for estimates. It won't take them long to prep it and mix the paint. The paint is a 3 step... Base, pearl, then clear.

Mine has a few marks too, I think from other cars doors in parking lots.

I was gonna take it to a paint shop but I thought they would charge an arm and a leg, maybe not though.
