Default Body Side Moldings

Am wondering if the body side moldings can be removed from the C5? Are they attached with pressure tape, or, are they drilled thru the body with attaching hardware on the backside?
Personally, would like to have a C5 without the molding . While looking to buy, need to know if this option can be removed easily, etc.
Thanks, Mike J.

They stick right on. No hardware. Just be careful, because if the paint is faded, or the car has been reshot (with the BSM on), you may see a strip of paint that doesn't match.
