On the bumpers, just pry it out. On the sides, the whole moulding needs to come off.

I think open the door and remove the bolts that hold the moulding then I I think it had double sided tape then the chrome trim needs to be slid off the moulding peice. What are you going to do?

Just curious, after you remove the chrome trim what are you going to do after? When you remove the chrome on the side it'll look like your car is missing pieces.

Well, when I bought the car, it was already missing a piece of the trim off one of the doors. So I'm thinking I'll just pull it off the rest and paint the car blue.
