Looks much better. Is that a reflection or is there a bit of paint chipping above your passenger side door?

chipping..my car has been repainted, im assuming it was wrecked...the other side the molding was painted over so im guna try water sanding to get the lines off...imma start body work soon i just wanted to see it clean before i start filling dents
That chipping paint reminds me of the post when you first got the car (if im remembering the right person).
Without the moulding it looks so....simple? idk the word im looking for lol but it deff looks much better

Not sure what everyone else did, but to get things going I used medical adhesive remover ("Remove" made by Smith + Nephew. Ask at you local pharmacy counter. If they don't have it, they'll either know where you can get it or can order it for you.). Let it soak into the adhesive and dry out a few times, then carefully try to pry up the moulding. Eventually it will let go of the moulding enough that you can sort of pull it off. There is a bit of work removing the other side from the body, but it you soak it enough times it will come up fairly easily with your thumb. I'm in the process with a friend's car right now. We have the trim pieces off, we're just working on removing the leftover adhesive.

i was using chemicals but it was wayyy to slow so i grabbed the schools eraser wheel and had it done in like 5 min..then i used a medium grade rubbing compound to clean the rest off
ok thanks for the help. I gotta get on that pretty soon
Your sunfire is looking good, what a difference it makes getting rid of the mouldings! Sucks taking the adhesive off but its worth the hassle!
yea def, the other side is rough cuz the moulding was painted over..lol but i wanted that clean look b4 i have filler spots all over my car
Very clean
I love the tinted tail lights
