Default just an idea.....

just an iddea ive been thinking about for a while now. id like to remove the door bump guards, the plastic strips that run along the lower part of the door about 1/3 of the way up. is this a hard thing to do, or are they just stuck there with double sided tape still? has anyone done it and if so, were you happy with the result? and any pics?

The strips you mention are fastened from inside the door.

hmmmm, hope they arent fastened to the door, cause i really dont like them....i think the ones on the b series are much better, more subtle and clean. though id probably just leave it clean without strips if i can

Ask Simon, when he was getting Whoosha to paint his for him, he pulled the left rear off and behind it was a small rectangular hole.

quick question, how come people can take them off to paint them then? or are they painting them while they're still on the car?

How hard would that be?
