Can chrome door inserts be removed?
Thinking of picking up an arctic white from stock with these installed and ideally I'd want to remove them.
Some research says that they may be on with double sided tape but want to confirm for this model.
The dealer seems to think they are glued on.
If it's tape I'd probably ask them to remove it before delivery. I am definitely not a chrome guy.
Can anybody tell me if they think that would be an issue for a dealer? Should there be any issue if I insist on it?
Thanks

I have them, didnt order them but came on the car I located which was on the ground. On a white car they dont bug at all and if one is keeping their chrome trime around the windows and the grill it might actually compliment the look... but if you are dying to remove them I think a heat gun should help do the trick (dont get mad if you pull paint though).
On a black car they are more bold.
Here are some low quality low light blackberry pics of the trim on my wagon.
