Actually I was worried about that but I had no marks what so ever. There was no color difference, no scratches or anything.I think I dont have any color difference maybe because my car has always been garaged so less bleaching by the sun. As far as removing them , I just took a metal putty knife, put it inside a sock, and pushed it along the side of the car under the moldings.Just make sure not to chisel or anything like that as you might scratch it I just did one smooth push and I didnt get one scratch. Also the leftover goo underneath I just rubbed off with my fingers or used a little automotive goo gone.

Did you take it to the body shop, or you did it yourself?

Looks 100% better!

I hate all you coupe guys because you don't have holes under your emblems or moldings. We are stuck having to fill and re-paint every time we do that kind of stuff.
