Chris, I think it looks better without the molding, but I think all Monte's do : ),
but I wish many times that my Monte Carlo had the side molding : (
Especially, when you have to park next to other cars : (
Did you use a hair dryer or heat gun ?
I hope you don't have to park it at the Walmart Parking Lot : (

haha i always park farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr away from every1 at the stores and take up at least 2 spots. would rather have a 50 dollar ticket then a thousand dollar repair job. and i used no special tools, just pulled them downward, used thumbs to roll all the 2 sided tape off, then polising compound to remove all the leftover junk on the paint. and oh yeah i think it looks hawt now

RE: stole a idea from a member here
yah the graphix seem to stand out a little better now
i've pulled moulding off of vehicles before and its not a fun job...lol...the last time i did it thought i used a heat gun and a cloth with a little bit of paint thinner on it and it came right off

ya know i tried that josh, i pm'd cully and did exactly what he did but it didnt touch the stuff. nothin on my car has been simple. i even used a hardcore chemical called X441 that emulsifies stuff off of paint and it wouldnt touch it which is why i am shocked that the polishing compound worked.
OK YALL I NEED A NEW IDEA SO GIMME!!!!
