Yeah, ripping it off and replacing it with a new piece is what most have done. I read a thread yesterday where someone was able to use some sort of wire and cut the "glue" to remove the panel. He then removed the excessive glue from the car and panel, repainted the panel, and reattached the panel with new glue. You have to have some balls to do that, I think. Or just be ready to drop ~ $1,500 if you fuck up.
