Default What's the easiest way to remove side moldings and rear license plate piece?

I'm trying to get some stuff painted and need to remove these items and drop them off at the paint shop.

What is the best and easiest way to remove them?

as for the side moldings, the esaiest way that Ive found is to expose the backside, by removing the panels so that you can see the clips from the inside, thesn squeeze each clip til it pops thru...

otherwise, you can just pry them off, but you might do more damage that way....

as for the licenseplate thing, my hatch doesnt have one, so I cant help you there...

do you have a 92-95 coupe, if you do there are 3 nuts behind the liscense plate thing and you also need to remove the lightson each side of the plate.
