Do a search on "shaved moldings" or "shaving moldings" and you will find a thread of a guy that took his off already and he put pics. He also gives step by step instructions of how to do it. To answer your question they are just stuck on with adhesive.

Swapping the different color body moldings sparks me as a neat idea - say getting the white and putting it on a red pro5 or vice versa. Or get the black mica trim for a yellow pro5, slap on a bomb muffler and you've got a true bumblebee. Oh my the possibilities...

I just realized that i don't want to scrape the adhesive off with my thumbnail. Is there anything else you think that will work?

go to Home Depot, or Lowes and buy some Goo Gone, its this yellow stuff in a bottle that removes adhesives, just squrt some onto the sticky stuff and let it sit, then you can just wipe it off with a damp rag. I love the stuff.

I really like the way it looks, but it isn't very practical for parking in public lots. My moldings keep my car safe from idiots that open their doors too wide. I'd rather they get bumped than more expensive areas of my car. I agree with Syz... mine are staying!

I wonder how that Goo Gone and other similar products would affect the WEAK Vivid yellow paint, I'd rather keep the molding than have stripes with no paint from the goo. Anyone with the yellow done this yet?

I have a yellow one and i am probably gonna do the moldings tomorrow if its not raining (it seems like it hasn't stopped raining for 2 months). I figure if the yellow paint comes off from under the molding i will just put the molding back on at a body shop. If i end up doing it ill let you know what happens.
