i cant find the article, but those 3 strips are a btch to take off, and better not attempt to take them off, as you will not be able to put them back on.

a 'simple' way to do it is with index cards, just slip them under the strips, and cover anything you don't want painted.

DJ's right, they don't come off easy. I broke all but one of mine, and had to order new ones.

DJ,

Interior looks great. Yours does as well Grizzly.

I agree, those 3 horizontal strips are a bear. I removed and replaced mine on Saturday with CF strips. I've been avoiding the installation for months because I knew it would be difficult. I was able to remove 2 out of 3 successfully. I broke the third one out of frustration.

thenavarro, if you still want to remove the 3 strips I can give you some tips. I wouldn't do it again. I would take DJ's advice above.
