Search "!molding", ..., It's been done dozens of times, ...
But that's the term people use, so see if you can find anyone that way.

I've done the same thing. It looks really good. I like a clean look tho. Not all like to delete the badging.

Crack your door? THe hell are you talking about? Have you ever done it? I've removed the mouldings and letters off of at least 10 of these cars and never so much as had a tiny issue. The hardest part is getting the adhesive leftovers off on the door.

i got the black letters on mine, i was going to take molding off but i realised its good for guarding your door from being hit by someone elses... if it ever gets blasted then it will give me reason to take it off

That molding sits kinda low plus our cars aren't really high up in the air to begin with. So most cars or trucks that are gonna hit your door will probably end up hitting it above the molding anyways. Just park further out by yourself.

I like the moldings, and don't like the badging. The front bumper on the TAs has a big *** body line built into it, that flows down the door of the car. Looks more defined with the molding there. To me it's naked without.

Get rid of the badging, and go from there. Getting rid of clutter is a good thing. Stripping a car completely clean, doesn't always mean you're getting a cleaner look...

Pics in my sig if you want to see how it looks.
