Hey I just got a touring AWD. I already put a chrome dual weave grille on it, and im going to tint the windows and get rims on it. Any suggestions for what i should do next?

Naww...you done good, Kensmash!

Silverider...it means you remove the door bump strips. Some folks also remove their side and trunk badges to clean up the look.

I can't access Photobucket from work or I'd post a picture. I'll do it from home later today so you can see what the car looks like with and without molding and emblems. Removing these items is a matter of choice and asthetics for the owner.

The procedure is fairly simple. Some folks leave their cars out on a hot day, then slowly work it off the surface by hand, using some adhesive remover, nylon fishing line (30# seems to work best - it won't break) or a plastic spackling tool, my personal favorite, and a hairdryer or heat gun.

Tools:

Get some 3M adhesive remover, a heat gun or hairdryer (I like the hairdryer best as it doesn't get as hot and you stand less of a chance to bubble the paint) and a plastic spackle tool.

Process:

Apply a small amount of 3M adhesive remover to the top edge of the molding and let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes.

Use the the spackle tool to begin separating the molding from the body. Work from the top. I rock the spackle tool, gently, from side to side and apply a little bit of downward and side to side pressure to open the gap. You may want to apply some heat if the molding resists. Take your time. Don't rush or force the spackle tool to hard. Also, don't let the hair dryer or heat gun get too close or linger in one spot too long.

As you open the gap, apply more adhesive remover and let sit. Repeat the process with the spackle tool and hair dryer or heat gun.

After the molding, and badges if you so choose, are removed; a bit more adhesive remover on a soft cotton rag can be used to remove any adhesive left over.

Final step is to take some wax or polish and rub down the area.

Alternate process: Go to your favorite body shop and have them remove it. They have all the tools, materials and expertise.
