If you’re repainting the car, I’d use Goo-Gone, or as mentioned brake clean with a flat razor blade. But they will hurt the finish on the car, so I wouldn’t remove the trim otherwise. ---

My girlfriend did it to my car for me today perfectly. All i had her do was use the heat gun and a bondo spreader and she got it all off in 20 minutes. There was a tiny bit of glue in spots, but if you take your time it should all come off in one piece, glue and all. If you don’t have a heat gun, a hair dryer works too. ---

LOL speaking of the black stripe and girlfriends… I think i take the cake my gf removed the black stripe for me also , assisted me (actually unbolted and detached stuff not sitting around watching 50/50 effort) completely gut the interior, rust paint everything, remove ALL the shitty tint dried up flaking bubbling tint (the biggest pita ever) and bought me rims for christmas! like Busta Rhymes once said… “I love my chick”
