i found this looking on a 300C forum on how to remove the moldings... im sure this can work for the G Coupes as well...

G35 SEDANS YOU CAN NOT DO THIS... YOU HAVE HOLES UNDER MOLDINGS


EDIT: WARNING depending on the color of the car or if the car is allways in the sun... the paint maybe faded

Oh hell yes!

Thanks Beebo!!!!

 

Mods: I guess if you want to merge this thread and Beebo's together you can do that.

After watching the video in Beebo's thread this DIY looked a million times easier that what I thought it was..

This DIY is probably the best one for looks for spending $0

Very very easy!

Spray down with WD-40.. let it sit for 10 min.. Use a scraper wrapped in a cloth



Peel the molding off with one had slowly and easily while pushing in with the scaper

Throw those moldings on the ground and take pics



heres one side with the moldings



One side with out




Use goo gone or bug tar removal for all that sticky stuff



Let it sit for 30 sec- 1 minute



Wipe it off.

thank god you took them off. i hate the side moldings

 

very nice!..i took off my door molding but left a dark shadow! maybe b/c i took them off in the middle of winter? lol..so i just bought new side moldings!

 

did those ugly things come stock or what ?

 

MODS if you could please merge both threads together please...

 

factory option.. Kills the lines of the G coupe.

For the longest time I would always look at other coupes and think that they were hotter than mine.. I couldn't put my finger on it.

It was these nasty things and the pin stripes


THESE MOLDINGS DO NOT WORK- THEY WILL NOT PROTECT YOU FROM DINGS!

 

Thanks Glex25

 

Bump

 

I must disagree with you. it just depends on the placement of the mouldings.

My car didn't come with them and I installed them myself... I have a few dings above the rear wheel wells but none on the doors themselves. If you were to look at the mouldings closely, you can see 3 or 4 spots on the driver's side that has been chipped and dinged from other people's doors!

To me, the mouldings are worth every penny!

 

thank god now i can do this on my own, i love the search button!!!! removing mines this week, yay!!!

 

I have an 05 sedan anything i can do to get these ugly things off
