heat gun, 3m sticker and adhesive remover. spray the edges with the remover wait a little while, then heat one corner and pull slowly, keep heating the strip while you pull and it should come off.

heat gun

I removed that crap chrome from the lower part on my 98. I just used a heat gun. a plastic puddy knife, and pliers. Don't get it too hot or you could blister the paint. I had a few small places it messed up. Once you get it started pull with pliers slowly. Mine curled as I removed it. Just like opening an old style can of tuna. It looks so much better after it's off. Take it to a scrap yard and get some $$$$ for it.

I think the instructions said use lots o glue. At the scrap yard all that heavy glue made the stainless weigh lots more.
