no it is not easy
you will need a thinner to get it off unlike the trim which is crome and no paint can stick on to it.

for the side mirror, do u think it is better to use that cf to wipe it or buy some kind of side mirror hard cover to cover it?

No it will not damage the plastic as long as you wipe it off right away and just polish after like my old car and pmotor car.
I have wipe it off so many times.
at 1st I sprayed it too dark so needed to redo it

I think it is hard to get the CF cover now best to cover it with your cf sticker to match the grill

how about just black high polish cover? is it easy to get?
i'm afraid if i use the cf sticker to cover it, it will hard to pull off later, and also the paint may pull off or hard to clean the left over adhesive.

are u going to get that bms?
