im in need of help on what to do with the molding on my ap2 lip before paint. should i take it off or cover it with tape? i know taking it off will make it a cleaner/easier job but im afraid if i take it off i wont be able to put it back on as good as oem. the double sided tape on it seems so thin.

any suggestions or what have u guys done in the past to your repainted ap2 lips.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
