so if i were to . . . say, pull the door trim off the outside of my car, what could i expect?
this piece:


how do i pull that off? would it be smooth under it? basically, is it like removing a badge? and what would it look like? that picture is from this one:

Leave the trim.

thank you captain stay on topic!

the trim should just be 3m taped on and it will be nice smooth door panel underneath

ty sir. now i await an eager photoshopper to see what it would look like. rest assured, jdq, i wont take it off unless i know thats what i want to do. thats why im posting this, asking for a photoshop in addition to how to do it.

It'* adhesive. Not riveted or anything, and yes, I'm 99.8 percent sure on this.

Should be able to goo gone and tooth floss it right off

I'd totally leave it on there, it prevents door-dings in parking lots.

x2 DEFINITELY...it has a purpose....

please guys, he is not asking if he should do it or not, he wanrs a photoshop and advice on how to removie it

someone did this PS job for me not too long ago, i found the old thread, but the pictures arent hosted anymore, so its gonna have to be a do-over

No more DON'T DO IT comments please. He didn't ask if he SHOULD. He asked how it'* installed and what it would look like if PS'd.

Ok, here'* my quick attempt at making it look like your door trim is gone. I'd do a better job, but I have to go to work soon.

I can make it look better if you want me to take another crack at it when I get off work tonight.

Anyways, here you go:
