does anyone know how i can remove those stick-on CF B-pillar panel finishers? i remember when i was installing them, the glue was pretty strong and i almost ripped off the actual B-pillar when i tryed to adjust them...
they are made by Varis if that helps at all

 

Those things are stuck on! Did it come with a glue that you put onto the (already very very) sticky tape? Either way i think it would not be possible to remove just the cf panel without at least damaging the oem panel.

 

yeah, the back side of it had adhesive on it, and the kit came with 3M's "adhesive promoter"....
that's what i was afraid of....i remember it was some very strong adhesive.
what if i heat up that sucker and try to tease it off?

 

I`d be worried what`s left underneath if you get the cover off. The 3M promoter is strong stuff

 

i figure if i manage to get it off, i can get whatever that's left underneath with claybar

 

If you do remove it the finish on the oem panel might peel also so be carefull...Yikes

 

hmmm....so far it doesn't look too for me....might have to look into the cost of new oem panels

 

Try offering a trade locally to someone who might like them for their OEM ones, that way all you have to do is pop them off(really easy to do), and swap them. I have the CF ones and thought about that exact same thing a while back. Seems to me that would be the easy way to go instead of damaging the ones you already have.

 

I'll trade for them if you want i'm in Los Angeles. PM me pics of them.....

 

thought about that...but my reason for removal is that there is some damage to 'em and i would like to replace them.
plus i dont want to sell/trade damaged products

 

Wow good looking out then....you honesty is well taken. I respect honest Z enthu's like yourself...

 

If you are replacing them with new CF covers....just rip the f'ers off and who cares what the OEM pillar looks like. You're just going to cover it up again.

Of course if you're not gonna cover it up again......good luck.
