Removing body side mouldings, 2015 IS250F
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
