Kerry for Swiss President!
If you have the tools or the money for a body shop, you should be able to remove the GFX and fill in the holes. On some cars, though, it's not going to look right, as the nose is sometimes specific to having ground effects. Personally, I'd get another car, but I'm not in Switzerland... a thirdgen here in the US is a couple hundred dollars as a shell. I'm sure it's not cheap over there.

i'd be happy to help with full detailed pictures and a great explination on theory and otherwise but if your voting for kerry you wouldn't understand my explanation and probably get lost through half the directions feeling intimidated and there by changing your stance on wanting to remove your gfx.
good luck to you though.

Anybody have any insight on removing the body side mouldings halfway down the doors, including the tape left behind, without damaging the paint? The moulding is completely off the door on one side of mine and I'd like to go ahead and remove it all. Or, removing the old tape without messing up the paint and reinstalling the one strip?

if your car is like mine, then it's just held on by something like 3m adhesive tape, and you can take a flathead screwdriver, and a hammer and LIGHTLY tap the screwdriver down between the molding and the panel or body until the molding moves out or down, then you just pull it away.
There's others that have it basically rivetted into the door, and you'll have to have a body shop fill the holes in.
If you've got the tape thing as I do/did. Then you'll know soon after you take it off that you'll be spending hours trying to remove the "excess" tape on there. There's a spray that makes the tape stuff grow huge and then just whipe right off, I cant remember the name of it right now, but you can do a search on here, I know someone answered the question for me in a thread so the answer is out there hah.
