Default Do you vette guys do the !side molding?

Just got my Z. Trying to decide if I need to do !molding. It made the TA look much better. I think it would on the Z, but not sure. Anyone do it? Got pics of TRZ with molding removed? Thanks in advance.

Here's my TR Zo6 without molding. I bought it this way.

I'm kinda glad it doesn't have it, looks cleaner, less clutter.

Molding is off! It does make it look much cleaner and smoother. It was a little more work than the TA, but worth it. Can't image trying to pc around all that. I recommend it.

When I first got my car I wished it didn't have the molding. Now, when I see a Vette without it, it looks funny. I think it makes the car looks like a lesser trim model or something (even though it's just a plastic strip). I will be leaving mine, but it really is up to each person's own opinion.
