Door Edge Guards Removal

Hey, I need your opinions and advice on this. I recently installed door edge guards on my Evo X MR. After I had put them on I began to realize that this may have ruined or slightly impacted the aerodyanmics and performance of my Evo. Now the two problems I have are is that I am questioning if I should leave it on or if should I remove it, but will the paint get ruined if I remove it even though the guard has adhesives on the end of it. I need some advice on either how to remove it carefully without damaging paint or if I should just leave it on. Does it really have an impact on the aerodaynamics and perfromance of the car?

Thanks for your time and help.

WOW! they arent going to affect your aero dynamics lol maybe if your car was a formula one car but its not ! if you want to take them off just use goo gone of something to remove the adheshive .

I would be more concerned with it looking ghetto then any impact to aero.

You might want to warm them up with a hair dryer before pulling them off. The goo gone should clean up any adhesive that remains.
