Default Did the !sidemold mod

Did what the title says. Trust the write-ups on this site, really made things go pretty smoothly. My car is white so I wasn't so concerned with faded paint.

I don't see how I ever thought this car looked good, lol. Every time I walk out to the garage or leave it and come back to it in a parking lot I stop and stare for a minute.

Been debating this for over a year now and still not sure if i like it on a T/A. It does look much cleaner but i think the molding flows with the Trans Am lines/body better. Good job either way OP, looks good.

Wow looks great! I'm definitely considering doing this on my Black WS6, but I guess I do have to worry about the fade. Do you have the link to the write up?

I don't know if you've seen it in person, but it looks really clean and still has sharp lines. To each his own, but after doing mine, I think it should have come that way from the factory.

I actually looked at 2 or 3 different ones. Search "Sidemold delete writeup" and I read them all.

First I couldnt decide whether to do it or not , I thought they suited the car , but I finally done it and never looked back .. now Im glad I did it , I could never imagine the car with them never ever again ..
they should have some from the factory without them ..

everyone should remove it !
