Now my DaD's friend is goin to paint my car and he what's me to take everything off it. Now I know how to take of the sideskirts but I really don't know how to take of the molding or trim?

i did it the brute way since i didnt care, man power...

yes then you will have bent side skirts if u do it this way. unless you are planning on buying all new exterior trim

grab a putty knife and bondo spreader knife or two putty knives if you dont have a bondo spreader knife. the moldings have clips that you can pop off if you go side by side on the molding. slide the putty knife behind the molding until you hit a clip. try popping the clips from the top of the molding first. i find it easier this way. then you try pushing the putty knife down gently on the clip while you try pulling the molding gently with no force required from the side the putty knife is on then once that side of the clip has popped then you do the same thing on the other side of the clip. remember start from one end of the molding and work your way to the other side. Also the molding on the doors have a nut on the end holding the moldings on so dont forget to take that off first.

If I were to take mine off I'd take the door panels off and use needle nose pliers to pop the clips out, but that's just me because I can't afford to break those clips

if you are takin off your stock door cap make sure to unclip it from the inside of the door. there are about 7 clips that hold a metal bracket which the door cap clips to. as for the trim that goes down the middle of the car, there are 2 clips on the fender molding and rear 1/4. for the fender i spread the inner fender liner and stuck my hand in with some pliers same went for the 1/4 panel molding but i pried my interior panel back and did the same thing. as for the one on the door. there are about 7 clips as well as a 10mm nut holding it on. like the others said very carefully unclip it. good luck, took me a good 1hr to take off all my molding without breaking it. but then again im still gonna be buying new ones from the dealer in the next week or two.

Wait!? you can buy new one's??? Or do you have an civic? Because I know that they still make them for the civic and not the CRX's.

you can take the panels off but theyre pretty easy if you know what your doing.

killercrx91

Yeah I did the one of the fender before, and everyone is telling it's easy to do the one on the door panel but how is it taking of the one were the quater panel is? Do I have to take out the interier to get that one out?
