Hey has anyone removed this before? I want to take it off but I dont want to mess the car paint up and have to repaint the doors.

looks like it is probably just held on by double sided tape. I would try some simple things first such as soaking it with wd40 or goo gone. These both help eat away at the "stickyness" of the tape. I wouldnt reccomend using any sharp objects as you will more than likely scratch the paint. Once you spray the trim peices just try pulling on them and then soak it some more. It may take some time but eventually it will come off. You could also use a heat gun or hair dryer on a low setting to try and loosen the tape. Remember though, rewax anywhere the solvents got, and where the tape used to be. Hope this helps

use a piece of fishing line like a saw and cut it off...

good idea. Sounds like it would work

And a little bit of heat will help but not too much!

Heat is the trick. Take a hair dryer, hold it over the end of the piece on the low setting for several minutes. You should then be able to pry up the end of the trim with your fingers. After you get the end off, you should be able to peel it back slowly while applying the heat. My son just did this on his Cougar and it worked like a charm.

Don't be afraid, the heat won't hurt your paint.

Do be careful! My buddy did that to his wife's neon, took a good chunk of the clear coat off the car... got it TOO hot... i recomend just prying it with out heat/solvents/string... that worked for me on my pickup... just dont rip, do it slowly...

Noone has taken it off their mustangs before...? Mine came with it so I figured there would be a few experiencing the same problem.

The only Mustangs I have seen with that were V6 rentals.....

I remember seeing this in a previous post. When the person took it off it was discolored behind the bumper thing.
