RE: Body side molding, is it only on rentals?
I just removed my wifes today and was easy. Just pulled one end and kept it going nice and easy till it was off. Some of the 3m tape was still on. I just sat there and balled ut up until it was all off. Took about ten minute for both doors. Then I took the goo gone and cleaned the dirt edge left behind. Looks alot better now, nice and clean.

if your worried about dings. do what i do park as best as you can and as safe as you can even if it means a little longer of a walk....i take that time to admire my pony...heh.... 2 and half years i have had one ding and i had it fixed in less than 24 hrs...the fix took 20 mins.... another thing that helps (honestly and ask anyone who knows me) is to keep the car clean and i mean like it came from the car wash clean...i am notorious for this and i notice that when i do park far and someone goes next to me thier car is usaully nice sparkly clean...they know that i dont wanna hurt my car and subsequentlty wont ding thiers up....but when i say i keep my car clean...i really really do...it looks wet on a regular basis, you could brush your teeth in my hood....ask anyone who knows me....jmho.

Back on topic....I do think the body side molding takes away from the design and flow of our cars.

Mine is Red, About 3 years old turned in july :'(
I am very tempted to remove the two dent-resistant strips, but I wonder if the paint will show major fading?? Anyone that waited to take them off notice a paint difference where the strip used to be??
