Removing Scuttles

I have been told these are glued on vs two sided body tape. Has anyone removed theirs and if so, what if any damage to the paint occurred?

I've recently looked into this and removing shuttles is fairly easy.

1. Raise hood.
2. Firm grasp of the scuttle then Slide it toward the front bumper.
3. Unclip turn signal
4. Rinse and repeat for the other side

It will be tougher if you have an F56... ("tube of adhesive")
