I am next. And I removed them today, but I wasn't completely finished with removing all the glue, and I wasn't able to wash my car either...and I work tomorrow so I will have to wash it some other day. For the mean time, I got a couple of pics.

I know my fender is ugly. What do you guys think it will cost just to paint that one fender at a shop?

Nice job Mat. What method did you use? Just call some local shops and see what they want or just go visit them.

I did not use the hair dryer. I used some no name brand adhesive remover along with some fishing line and used it like a see-saw action. After I removed the side moldings, I saw wet moisture on the inside of the trim...Man that scared me, and I am so greatful that I removed it now before the moisture did any damage. I did have a really tiny thin line of bubbles, but it is nothing to be worried about. I can't even see it unless I shove my face on my doors.

I don't know about you guys, but every door was easy, but my front passenger door had piles or glue on it and that took all day.

Mine was easy to do, but I also did it probably 6 months after my car was new.
