Removing Bump Strips

[little_star]

jim is wanting to remove the bump strips from the sides of my starlet s. has anyone done this and is it easy just to rip them off or do they leave holes in the sides of the car? if they do then we will probably get them sprayed so the car is more colour coded.

thanks

all the starlets dont have holes behind the strips, as i have removed some off my Sr and off a customers sportif, shouldnt make no difference wether it is s/sr/xl etc etc they simply peel away (can be tricky at times as the glue is pretty solid)

thanks every one, there seem to be a few different opinions so its probably going to be best to look from the insides like sy suggested. :)

i rather my bump strips on i like the look of em but i never seen 1 without em so god knows if they look better without

[little_star]

well im not sure. theyre there for a purpose so removing them may get me some dents and i think they can sometimes break up a big block of colour which is good. but jim wants them off so...
