I got the car with this awful trim on it. I would like to remove it as soon as possible.
Any suggestions for doing this painlessly?

This is the car at its PO's place before I got it:

This is how it currently sits:

Some of the rivets are making their way out.

Please excuse the dirty car...it is getting a full detail and then getting plasti-dipped blue until I get the whole thing painted.

For those that do not know much about plasti-dip, it is a temporary coating that can be peeled off like plastic, at any time. The benefit to the plasti-dip is that I can paint the car blue this weekend for around $120 and when I decide to do a full paint job in the near future, I can peel this stuff off and start prepping.
