id like to try and make the car look a little more modern and im not up for trying to paint the side mouldings. i was wondering can the side trim bits be taken off? is it painted under there? and will it trash the paint removing them?

I agree with Kyle. The mouldings themselves pull right off but it's the glue underneath that is hard to get off. It will involve a lot of hard work with a hair dryer to warm the surface, eucalyptus oil/metho to loose the glue and scrubbing with a cloth.
Painting the mouldings all round will achieve the same desired result or better. |

Prepsol is the go to remove that glue. Spray on, allow to soak, then use a razorblade at a shallow angle to get below the glue/paint surface.

They shouldn't be glues on, it just double sided tape, which is still a pain to remove. Here's a pic of my EA when I removed them, it looks crap I reckon unless you have a kit.
