I do not know if I agree with pulling the guards off.... but if you do, please be careful... I know a couple instances where folks have removed glued on trim items by pulling, and have resultantly pulled off some paint too.... As I said, just use some common sense and all should go well. And I do agree, the car does look 100% better without them! -Jeremy

I acually found the easiest way to get it of is when its dry, just peal a piece with your finger and then start rolling with your thumb. I feel the door dings have to be removed its the cheapest and one of the best looking mods you can do 1998 Silver Contour SVT 17" Focus SVT Wheels Removed Door Dings Painted Brake Calipers Black/White SVT Logo Xenon Headlights K&N Filter "If my wheels are on the road, I'm racing"
