Default Body Side Mouldings

I am looking at buying a car with body side mouldings. I prefer the look without these and was wondering how they are attached and if the body is painted before those are installed? Can they be easily removed?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help! Are they installed with a double-sided tape?
