i have always liked the debaged/no molding look on TA's thats why i did it. Just something doesnt look right on it IMO. Maybe just because its red and it needs some accents. Mine is black and looks fine with no accents

im right there with you. i removed all of mine too, and i love it now. WAY cleaner. all though i do still have the
LOTB badges. and if anyone thinks its a V6... well, who cares. if they want to test, show em what ya got!

oh and just a quick recommendation since you have a red car too. the front side markers are the same size
as the rear camaro lights (red). it looks A LOT cleaner than the ambers, and you can get them very cheap,
especially if you go to a junk yard.

I say no molding or badges, IMO put it closer to the ground stands out even better.

To anyone that knows our cars, the front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and spoiler are dead giveaways that its a Trans Am, so no one in our community will mistake it for a V6, thats what the Formula is for lol.

Exactly. Even with my badges still on, I still get "Nice Firebird".

I'd have to see it in person, because from your pics they both look good. Nice car BTW.

I wouldn't say it needs badges, but the wheels and tint on crimson birds car make the red color stand out. It looks good how you have it, don't get me wrong, it just sounds like you aren't quite happy (yet) with it. I'd say tint and some wheels. Budget permitting.

definitely like it without the molding (im taking mine off as soon as it gets a little warmer).. but i would put the emblems back on.. maybe with a black overlay?

either way nice car!

EDIT: looks like you already had the overlay in the first pic

i think once you put some black rims on there it will look alot better like crimsonbird, but with those fugly c5 wheels it looks plain boring and ugly wiht not badges... i like the side molding gone but i think you need some kinda contrast in the car... jmo
