WHAT A DIFFERENCE everyone kept telling me to do it , but I just always put it aside. This is a must for everyone with these cars, something so simple but such a huge change. I just heated the adhesive with a hairdryer took off the molding, then rolled the adhesive off with my thumbs and cleaned it all up..(my thumbs are killing me today haha)
Im going to take a pic when i get out of class and ill post it up
I have been debating doing this for like 2 years now on my car.

This is an excellent mod, unless your car was repainted at one point like mine.

!side molding FTW. Cars look much smoother without 'em!
Yea I saw it Ron, and it does look nice. So I guess I have to get un-lazy and do it lol!

it was really easy..
1. i used fishing line to seperate the 1st inch or 2 of the molding off the car
2.pulled the molding very slowly as i had the blowdryer on high heat blowing on the adhesive
3.rolled off all of the adhesive with my thumbs(kills your thumbs after a while)
4.used bug and tar remover to take off the little bits of glue
5.waxed it up

Looks good bro! Did you ever get the Iroc spoiler put on it. I was at Island in August and you said you bought one.

I think Steve was referring to the side molding, not the spoiler, since that's what this thread is about.

The bumper & passenger side fender were replace shortly after I bought the car. A deer re-arranged things and the hood & passenger side fender were poorly blended.

not really a problem considering most people will see your taillights.
