Picked up an 04 Eddie Bauer Thursday.My wife loves it and I have to say,it is extremely nice.Finally got the side molding off of mine,came out pretty good I think.

 

It gives it a nice clean look...good job 5.0! How did you get it off, heat gun? How was the paint under the molding?

 

And not to hijack the thread but here's my fiveoh, my 86!

 

Hijack all you want with that gorgeous 4 eye.PM me with what sites you are on for the Mustang.
It was real simple to pull them off.I started with strong fishing line and separated the molding from the body...then just pulled the rest off by hand.I could have saved the molding but had no use,so they were "curved" when I finished.I thought for a minute and then used a hard plastic "putty knife" just to start the others.2 or 3" into it,I just pulled it off.The paint is in good shape.I used what basically amounts to be a big eraser to get the excess glue off which was tough...simply because it takes a little time.Then waxed the area...total time for everything about 1.5-2 hours,but Im very particular.I still have a little buffing to do[I did the first round by hand] Some said use a heat gun or hair dryer,but I actually saw it done on "Trucks"[horsepower block] The eraser is expensive but imo made it easier than holding a heat source to it long enough to pull the left over off.Plus the eraser doesnt hurt the paint in any way.
It really cleans the look up nicely.
Thanks for the compliment....sorry for the long post
