As you can see im stuck with the chrome ones.....my question is, how do you take them off? Is it the same way you do it with the badges?

 

Not sure if the chrome ones are the same, but I took my side moldings off with some fishing line, lots of patience and time and some goo gone, followed up by a lil wax, and it looks real good. i would assume that yours are just painted chrome if not the same stuff as mine was, so give it a try hope that helps man.

 

I like your chrome moldings it looks good on the sedan

 

i took my side moldings off with fishing line and a hair dryer it helped alot but that sticky stuff is a pain to get off.. but like he said they should just be painted chrome..

 

thanks for the input guys. Heres a quick chop:






what do you think?

 

I think it looks sportyer (I know not a word) without.

 

yeah, I have to say they both look great either way

 

then i guess its time for a change !

it will be a lot easier to wash it too

 

take it off baby!!! yeah it does look sportier without, but i must say on it does look a little more elegant. either way you're looking good.

 

IMO, with the chrome door handles, it looks better with

 

I agree with wbrault, if you take of the side moldings you might want to consider the door handles Mason, they will just stand out. and yeah it is easier to keep clean without the moldings it does'nt leave those dry running marks.

 

My Cobalt Didn't Have Body Side Mouldings And I Bought It New

 

well...i decided to start doing that today. just bought some goo gone and towel.

if the chrome handles stand out too much, ill just paint it black afterwards. but i think it will be fine coz the saturn sky and some buicks have the same handle anyways

 

looks good without them. i wouldnt use goo gone it has denatured alcohol in it which is a solvent which can thin or remove you clearcoat.

 

i like the chrome trim on your car...it's the only Cobalt i've seen with the chrome, and it makes it look refined, classy and dignified.

it also makes it look like the car cost a LOT more money than what you paid for it.

 

what do you mean?.....i already took one of them off....

 

I also like the chrome on it more. Makes it look more than just a 4dr cobalt.

 

I think it looks good with the chrome side moldings

 

hehe too late! i personally like those chrome as well but i think its time for a change. i think without it makes the car look.....younger? im 18 and i feel like im driving a 40ish year old car :P

well i got one side off......but still have to scrape off the tape thing and its raining and im tired

anyways...thanks for the input!

 

You inspired me, I decided to take my moulding off, I think it looks better without.

 

yea....just took mine off.....finally spent so much time trying to get all to goo off and im still stuck with some....

looks a lot smoother now.....i definetly like it without moldings...

 

My cobalt is over a year old now and I was planning on taking off the side mouldings too, i love smooth look of the ss without the mouldings, now my question is I have the orange paint can i expect color faid when they are off, I already removed the rear bowtie from the trunk and had a spot where the adhesive was but polished it away.
