Plus on the Imps they are rivetted in! So you'd have I think it's 3 holes per door from taking them off. I guess the MC's weren't rivetted on???

What moldings? Maybe my eyes aren't trained, but I flipped back and forth between the before and after photos, and didn't see. Someone please point my blind *** in the right direction.

Previous year MC's have had them. I suspect the original owner had them installed. It is possible the dealership installed them before the customer purchased the car.
