Ewww! Definitely don't do it. Either leave the moldings be or get rid of them all together.

I don't mind the black side moldings, but after seeing the picture i definitely think it would look better with everything removed. My car would look really clean...

The only problem is that my car was painted, so I would have to re-paint the two sides of the car...

I liked them painted black, although it might not look as good without black stripes...

It's your car so do whatever you want!

Don't do it, IMO trans ams look cheap without them so leave them alone

does it look better/cleaner without them? yes. does it look bad/cluttered with them? no! at least not to me.

as for the black side molding on the car i posted, i really dont think they look that bad. and i think they would look a lot better if there was more of a black theme going with the car. (ceta mod, tinted windows, possibly even black rims, etc.) one thing, like the molding is not make or break for a car. everything has to fit together.
