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
