Blow dryer to heat em up, then rip off the mouldings, then....paint thinner or something like WD-40 or other solvent to remove the adhesive...expect multiple hours for this project

I would definitely not use paint thinner

'Sticker Shock' works best, but is tedious and you kinda have to use your fingernails

Just curious are you going to repaint them or are they worthless once removed?

I am thinking about doing the same to mine, as one if mine is mis-colored (maybe it was in a little wreck with previous owner). I was thinking about 3M adhesive remover or maybe even something stronger

Ok, this has been talked about heaps of times. The best way is to just pull them off & if u have a drill, get one of those bits that has the rubber tip on it. Painters have this tool, I can't remember what its called, but it works wonders. I did mine & I took it to a paint shop & in about less than an hour, I had my car back & glue was gone! The price u pay for that removal stuff & hours of hard labour, get the body shop to do it.... just my 2 cents
