Default door molding & badges
I plan on removing my side moldings on my TA but I'm not sure if I want to leave the "Trans Am" badging too? What do you guys think? Any pics?

Here is a pic of my car.

Thanks

If you decide to keep the Trans am lettering on, I would suggest doing a black overlay on them, so they stand out more. something like these...............http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/pontranamdoo.html

Here's a pic of my car with no mouldings or lettering........

Take the molding and the letters off!! It will look clean and smooth. Lower that sucker and that car will look sick!

I first removed the molding, but left the Trans-Am badge.....about a week ago I decided to pull the badge as well. It looks much better with both removed.

Leave the lettering. I'm gonna get decals for mine later but this is a bad pic to show how it would look.

i just got black badges not overlays, overlays seem kind of poor quality and the sponge catches them.

So the moldings are only held on with adhesive?

Thanks guys, I think I'm just going to start with the molding and see how I like it. But I think that I'll end up taking the lettering off too for the cleaner look.
