Try removing the other side and lmk how it goes :biggrin:
You probably have to heat it up gently, like with a hair dryer, and then start peeling it gently off. YOu may need some Goo Gone or something if the glue remains. Good luck.
Keep in mind that they were put there for a purpose...the paint chips easily. Even though they are obvious and can't possibly be cleaned completely, I'm leaving mine on for now. Maybe when they look really bad, I'll replace them...just saying.
These cars are bug magnets on the highway! My bumper is full of them!!!
I'm leaving them on for now.....hate the rock chips more than I hate the clear film strip :p

I still want to remove haha
i removed em nd i commute like 10 miles on the freeway everyday. i havent notice anything yet.
Mine were getting moldy/dirty around the edges, one side left a little adhesive, the other side came of clean. it's pretty easy.
Old thread but I wondered about this also. They really show up after a wax on the edge. It seems like a strange place to get rock chips. I notice it sticks out a bit there around the wheel but it's on the back of the car. Rocks chip the front.
