[LatinoHatchCrap]

It'll cost about 150-250 to spray. I wouldnt take them off. Those clips willbreak very easily. Honda designed those mouldings to go in once. Maybe you should have a go at respray them :)

Do you mean the strips in the middle of the door (side-mouldings/bump-strips) or the metal trim that literally goes along the bottom of the window that originally is painted with a rubber-black coating.. like where you lean your arm..

If this is what you mean.. mine are cracking with the rubber paint coming off also and IMO it brings the whole look of the car down..

how do I get these off ??

[honda_b_blastn]

Dont take them off..they wil crack the clips,no honda wreckers will sell you these without the doors in Brisbane.If you must paint them do so on the car.

To properly remove the side moldings, you have to actually remove panels (front fender, door panel, and rear whatever it is) then remove the molds from behind. Seems like alot of work. As everyone else said, paint them on the car, like I am going to do.
