I would say yes because I have seen photos of other people here that have done it. Try to find them.

If they are glued - Heat from a hot air heat gun or hair dryer.
If glued though, they are glued to the paint and will leave a different color paint stripe.

Get 'em hot in the sun... use a HEAT gun and floss - They'll peel off, no prob. Use some goo remover and a good wash and wax to finish it all.

This is a cheap and good mod, esp for the CE folks out there.

Check out 9 th gen corolla (no spaces) dot com under either exteior mods or DIYs for more on it.

Good luck (although you wont need it)!
