What is this and how do I remove it?
Previous owner had some sideskirts installed and I didn't like them, remove them to find this super strong adhesive underneath at the front and back ends.
It's on the car really good, I tried tugging but i feel like it might take the paint with it if I pull too hard.
It's slightly squishy, anyone know what it is and how I can safely remove it?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

That looks like urethane adhesive. It's extremely a pain to take off without damaging the paint.
I would bring it to a body shop and see if they could remove it without damaging the paint. Unfortunately there's a chance that those panels may need to be repainted.

Before the bodyshop route... Try heat gun, Goo Gone, and alcohol?

Try the heat/scrape off with plastic instruments. Then try MEK. Let it soak in. Pry up the edges and dribble a little more on.
