shaved off my side moldings!!
took off the black side moldings.....I know I have higher likeyhood of dings,but damn it looks good..much cleaner....just used some fishing line, got underneath it and "sawed" them off....then went back and used some wd-40 and a plastic card to scrape off the double sided tape left behind....took some elbow grease to get it clean,but it looks good!!!...will post some pics soon

I like the painted side moldings better than the black. If I had black ones I would take them off.
A friend of mine with a civic actually wants to add black side molding to his car. I keep telling him it wont look good but he still wants to do it.

I did it to my car after 3 years!
It took a while to get the sitcky tape off. I'll tell you this though, Goo Gone worked a lot better for me than WD-40. Plus Goo Gone has a nice citrus scent unlike WD-40 which gets you pretty high after awhile, but some people that are into that kind of thang might want to use the WD-40.

Armed with my moms hair dryed, a Cosco membership card and some skill, I removed the side moldings on my P5.
Conclusion: I like the look without them.
Also: I took a look at the dents in my mom's P5 and the has 2 biger ones at the very first bend of the dor closest to the window, and 2 more right in the middle of the dor.....so, those side mordings won't help much.
Thankfuly I have no dents at all, just a scratch in the lover part of the front bumper. that happend 2 weeks after I got my car. The kids in the street told me that a silver car with frovers on both sides of the front fenders was parked in front of me. (location Vancouver, Canada)
PS: I hate IDIOTS.
