Re: side molding mod
Are you talking about removing the door molding? If so, then yes it is taped on. And you should try applying some sort of heat to loosen it up a bit.
Also, don't pull too hard/fast. The paint will come off with it.

Re: side molding mod
Not all were double stick. The earlier ones 82-? You kno the thin black style, those I believe are riveted on. Also have any of the parts of your car where the molding are been repainted. If so they may have painted over the molding. Depending on the age of the paint you may notice a differene in color due to fading, especially red.

Re: side molding mod
Its an 86 Z w/ original paint, the moldings are white as well, the main reason why i want to remove them is they are turning yellow in some spots and it looks bad. I think it would give the car a cleaner look as well, just worried about removing paint along w/ the molding

Re: side molding mod
My 89 Gta had the moldings removed. When I had my 85 z painted they replaced the molding and it was just double sided tape. I have been thinking of doing the same thing to the 85z.
