General: Removing the adhesive after tearing off your molding
 

Pretty simple stuff. And if this doesn't work for you personally, you can always get some 3M adhisive removal, about 8 bucks a can.

It's quite easy to do. Be sure to thuroughly wash the area after, this will keep any left over adhisive from gathering ambiant dust and makeing lines down your doors where the molding used to be.

Nice write-up! This works for the 3, 6, Protege5, and probably a bunch of other models too (5, CX-7, CX-9, Tribute). Mazda may have put holes behind badges but not under those side moldings! :)

any pics of what it looks like cleaned and zoomed out?

Of course
 

For now this is it, I jacked the rear bumper, and had to order another, it will be on soon, and i'll post new pics.
It's just a blown up version of my avitar
