You can get apts with garages or even better you can rent out a townhouse. It's the middle ground between owning your own home and an apt without the high mortgage costs.

I just peeled mine back really carefully, then attacked the adhesive tape with adhesive remover and a plastic putty knife.

Note that just because mine didn't come off with too much trouble, dosent mean that every car's will. Be really careful, you don't wanna start peeling paint off your doors.

Also, after I got them off, I washed my car to get the adhesive remover off, and touched up the area that I was working in with some wax..

More Pics of the finished project tomorrow, because it's dark out:lolsign:

i decided to take my side moldings off yesterday and it turned out pretty good.Im thinkin about taking off all my emblems as well because i think the body would look smoother without it.What do yal think?should i take the emblems off?

Amen to that. The !molding and !emblems were the best appearance mods I've done. Well after lowering of course.
