I don't know. I prefer them on. It gives the Trans Am more definition. On Camaros, I prefer them off.

I think that it looks pretty good. How long did it take you?

Nice! Looks realy good! Was the paint underneath damaged in any way or was it just to remove the modling?

It took me about 2 or 3 hours to get them off.
The reason i took them off is because they were faded/discolored and didnt match the paint, other wise i would have left them on because i want to keep it as stock as i can.
The paint underneath looked great, my car only has 22k miles and is garage kept so fading isnt really an issue. I just cleaned it up with quick deatailer then claybar/waxed the bottom part of the car.
Thanks for the comments!

I prefer them with the molding on. As long as you like though, then that's what matters!
