The side moldings WILL leave epoxy behind when you take them off. I'm sure you could use some sort of solvent to get it off. The fading I'm not sure about, however remember that there is a dentation there, so it may not be as noticable as you may think.

The moldings on the top of the car ar a PITA to sand. They're held on by epoxy, but it seems that there's a chanel of bondo or something down the center which took me forever to sand off. I wouldn't recommend taking them off at all unless you're going to shave them.

 

wat can in use to remove the epoxy without hurting the paint?

 

Someone Mentioned epoxy remover. You'll notice 3 stripes of eposy, two "not-so-strong" rows on the outside, and one tough row down the center. The eposy remover should get the outside stripes off without a problem...it's the stipe down the middle which might get you. I don't know if there's anything strong enough to take that off without hurting the paint or not. Anyon?

 

hey this is funny! when I used to drive the 1rst gen mine fell off lol and now you guys are taking them off to make it look better! who woulda thought lol

 

Hehe, well I'm sure it looks better without all the adhesive sticking out like a sore thumb.

 

Here's a good shot of fresh paint without the side moldings:
