Whats the fastest way to get the plastic strip molding off the bumper off an s13. I've already removed the sides but for some reason the bumper molding is harder to peel off. Is there any household products I can use to help easy the strips off??

you could use a hair dryer to heat it up but gotta be carfull not to over heat the paint on the car.

when i wanted to take my rear emblems off i just waited till a hot rainy day, they came right off, i imagine itd work the same for you

i dont know why people say hair dryers, hot water seems like a much better solution

I pulled my stripes off. Then got some orange cleaner form the chemical store. That stuff cuts adhesive like you wouldn't believe. It even left the paint (YES!!) Some company sells something called graffics gone whitch is just a fancy orange cleaner.
