    yea so far its just breaking off into peices, i might try heating it up. Should mention that Im not worried about damaging the paint.

    I've heard of taking fishing line between both hands and pulling it between the trim and body....sorta like flossing.

    +1... This worked on the last two vehicles i owned (took all the badging off of a civic and an escort.)

    Would this work for giving my neon the ACR look? But just on the back doors so the GRM number plate looks better

    I've been using a combination of cold-chisel, blowtorch and reciprocating saw on the E30.

    Wait another 2 years, by that time the truck should magically rust into nothing...... No truck, no trim :)
