Pulling trim, emblems and moldings is how a chrome delete or full wrap gets tucked edges instead of visible seams, and how you avoid cutting on the paint around them.
Do I always need to remove it?
For a chrome delete you can often wrap trim in place, but removing it gives fully wrapped edges that won’t peel back at the ends.
