Default damage paint?

i was wandering what is actually holding the "shaker" hood on as well as the side scoops... dealership wouldn't remove them when i bought it. i like a simpler look but if its any trouble i am not worried about it because it doesn't look bad.

those are held on with what we call "3M" or double sided molding tape. You might not damage the paint when pulling them off but it will leave behind a residue that you will have to get rid of. Also, depending on how long they have been on, you might have paint fade around the areas where the scoops and shaker were. So removing them won't be so bad, it's what comes afterwards that might be the pain

Mark is right. 3M tape is amazing stuff. But if you want them off, take them off soon, so you don't have to deal with paint fade
