Just purchased my first Lexus the other day and plan on keeping it tasteful with the mods. However, someone had mentioned removing body side mouldings, which I haven't thought of. Has anyone here done it themselves, and if so, how can I go about it without damaging the paint and keeping it looking clean? My car is a CPO vehicle, so whoever owned it before me must have done it. Picture is in my profile.

The body side moldings was a option, Someone must've had it installed after purchasing or it was a Port install before it was delivered to the dealership for sale.
You'll probably need a
