Go to a dark alley in a bad neighborhood...ask the scariest guy you see to steal it off your car and bring it to you

Steve (naughty240) was a huge help. He gave me some great tips to get it off. I didn't get it off perfectly (2 small dings) but I think I have it down now....as with anything, you get better the more you do it so the drivers side came off perfectly.
Hit me up via PM if you are doing it now and I'll answer the questions best I can...otherwise I'll try to do a DIY later on when I have some time.

I had two photoshops done...one with IP trim and one with gloss black. I chose gloss black because doing it in IP, made the windows look tiny. I think darker colors can pull it off easily. The gloss black will also match the pillars

For sure Tim. I was going to snap pics of the removal but I didn't want to spend the night in the garage lol Once I get them back from paint, I'll be sure to snap pics which will essentially show the removal process as well.

so then it would be a good guess that color matched any color would have the same effect? i already have black paint, convenient for me i guess, most of my accents are now black anyways, i have even thought of powder coating the exhaust but it might look rice

Awesome Chris, can't wait to see how it turns out. I need to do mine and my door handles too. Maybe before the Sedan GTG, we'll see.
