Previous owner bondoed the side skirts. What is the best way to get them off without ruining anything?

Here you can partially see what they have done. Sorry for the blur, cheap camera phone.

I'm guessing you are asking if they are a direct fit. They seem to line up correctly. I just need to know the safest way to to remove something that is bondoed to my car.

If you are asking if the car came out with it, I'm pretty sure that is a no. This is a wide body kit. I don't think the CR-X Si even came with side skirts. I could be wrong though. After all I am a newbee to the CR-X.

I know, it's about time. I got my hands on a cannon and took some pics of the side skirts. Now you will understand why I want to take them off.

Did they bondo the whole thing? Or just on the top and where it connects? Cause if you can jack it up and get ahold of the bottom you can gently and I say gently!
*Tug on it and maybe get it loose.
*Take a scrapper and do your best to just get them away from the car, sand down the sides and where there's still bondo on the car without going down to far.
*Looks like you can rattle can it back to primer when your done. Shouldn't be too hard.
*And if you ever go to far down you can always bondo back the spots you fuck up! Hopefully that helps you a little bit.
