Default Removing Louvers?

So I have seen a couple of the Silver hourse louvers and really like them! However, I already have a set of 3d carbon c pillar covers on the car. My question is how hard would it be to remove the existing covers? They appear to be put on with the double sided tape in all honesty. Can a body shop do the swap for me or am I stuck with what I have?

I don't dislike what I've got but I just think the Silver Hourse louvers look nice.

You can EASILY remove them yourself with fishing line and a blow dryer. Heat up the tape and then gently saw it with the fishing ling. Use 3M adhesive remover for any remaing residue. Very easy.

Just be careful not to hold the hairdryer on one spot too long or it can screw with your paint

I didnt even use a hairdryer. I just used the fishing line... then used adhesive remover and alchohol to get residue off. it cuts through the tape and leaves more residue but its easy to get off and takes the worry out of damaging the paint.
