Does anyone have any pictures of the p5 without side moldings? I'm taking mine off soon due to them coming apart from the adhesive due to sun. :)
 
i removed mine 2 years ago and there was no color difference. my car is red if that means anything.
 
They are held on by plastic clips. I ran over a long bolt while driving and the bolt penetrated the tire. While the wheel was spinning, the end of the bolt caught the edge of the side skirt and broke it off.

plastic clips? the OP is talking about he moldings on the doors not the side skirts.

Mine have been off for years and the car collects less dust and junk above them, not to mention once you lower the car the doors on most cars are higher than the moldings anyway
