            Well, I did it. My fingers are hurting. It left a small black stripe where the top and bottom of the molding was. I'm sure theres a way to get it off, but rubbing compund and wax didnt help at all. Other than that, I'm pretty pleased with it. Pics are high res so i'll link to them.

            Here's a before pic

            It looks like they are still on because of that stripe. :mad:

                I like it with it on in most cases. However my door is pushed in a little bit (we've all had this problem at one point or another) so I'm thinking of taking mine off since it draws attention away from this.

                      About an hour and a half.

                      Its really easy to do, just tedious.

                        Greg, try the rubbing compound again, I don't know how long you worked on it but some elbow grease should take that off. If not, find somewhere that will machine polish it for you, that should take it off. I think if you work at it enough with the rubbing compound that should take it off though.
