Damn Honda Dealer installed opts

My Honda dealer (Ourisman Honda) installed that black trim peice on the wheel wells and also glued those nasty door edge moldings which are also black, on my SILVER Civic. Is there any way I can get that refunded or something, I dont want that crap on my car. Ive had it for a 3 weeks now though. I think the door moldings scrathed the paint underneath it. Does anyone know if I can safely remove it or have the dealer get rid of that??

I had that crap on my car too.....take that stuff off ASAP because if you don't water will get up under there and leave a nice brown dirt line that won't come off..I have it on my white car.....sucks butt

You can't really notice it now after all the waxing's and washings but it's still there....oh well

I ripped mine off as soon as I noticed it. It left no marks. Let it sit in the sun for a few hours first- it should come right off.

Hmm...I've wanted to take those off too, but they've been on my car for nearly 5 months now...probably too late and would leave a mark

Well just peal off a little bit and see what's up.....if it's all ugly and crap then just leave it...if not then pull off some more and if it's okay then go for it, and pull it all off

Its up to you
