how many of u DG guys had to or chose to remove the side moulings that run down the doors and into the rear quarters? my car has them and im going to remove them but dont want any marks where they were..The cars an 04 no paint or body work but still seems it might be aged compared to whats underneath the trim?

....thought so
Didn't realize all of them had the step lip
Guessing a 15mm spacer front and not sure bought the rear?

I did it...it was a pain. Driver's rear quarter had fade, so I had a body shop repaint the area. Getting residual adhesive off was the worst part. I got blisters on my fingers from it. I'm sure there is an easier way, but too late now. When I brought it into the body shop they said they would have done it for $40. In retrospect, I wish I would have done that.

If you decide to do it yourself do it slowly. You will chip paint off if you rush.
