Default EP3 HFP body kit removal

Hi,

I'm interested in purchasing a nice Civic EP3 but hate the HFP body kit on it. First, when removing any body kit, after it's been on the car for a decade, surely you must get a very visible demarcation on the paint showing where the kit used to be, right? I'm thinking two paint tones and a line where there's been a little abrasion.

Second, can anyone tell me if removing the front and rear parts of the HFP body kit for the Civic EP3 is hard and what kind of fasteners, tape and glue I'll find underneath? The side skirts look easy to remove.

Thanks

Not that many choices for EP3s in good condition so I need to consider all options. So, have you seen the paint underneath after removal?

The paint will need work no doubt about it.
