Default Side accents

Anyone know how to remove the side accents on the front fenders? I'm wanting to add color to them and can't seem to get them off.

They are held on with double stick adhesive and pop fasteners. You need to run some fishing line to break the double sided tape bond and then use some plastic or wooden (paint stir sticks or bondo spreader) to pry them off.

they are held in place by push clips toward the front and by double sided tape on each strake.

use a heat gun (blow dryer) to loosen adhesive and fishing line to help break it free.

here are some pics... for a better idea of the push clip locations...
