Default Removal of plastic fenderguards

Hey guys, should I just use a hair dryer and pull on these to remove? I don't want to pull off paint along with it 0_o. Lexus of Tacoma puts them on standard I think, Bellevue and Seattle Lexus had never even seen them lol.

Pull em off. I used to work for a guy who I helped put those on cars. They come off super easy. You don't need a hair dryer to do it. And it won't peel your paint. I've ripped em off waaay older cars and they still didn't take the paint off. I think they look tacky. But to each his own.

yeah they come right off, if there is adhesive left over just rub it with your thumb and it should just roll up and off

They do come right off, but just play it safe and use a hairdryer to make sure nothing happens. Better safe than sorry.
