I have a 98 trans am and recently hit deer and was just wondering if anyone still has the molding that they would like to get rid of. If so let me know. email address is silkyt_21@hotmail.com If you don't have them could anybody tell me where to find them. All I need is the drivers side. Thanks.

From looking at pics on the 'net I wasn't sure if it would look better. Although once I tried it and saw it in person, I can say it's definitely worth it.

Here's my pics anyway:

when you take the molding off, is it painted underneath or do you have to get it painted?

Its painted underneath all u have to do is heat it up with a hair dryer(not required but makes it easier) and pull away thenkeep rubbin your thumb on the sticky sh*& til u get most of it offf and then use like bug and tar remover and u are all done <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I asked them if they were familiar with the Torque Thrust IIs (which come in 17x11). They said yes, so I told them to make them with the same specifications. I wish I could remember who I talked to. It was over a year ago.

After you heat it with a hair dryer. Ues the floss kinda like a razor blade when you take off a window sticker. It won't hurt the paint.

Thanks to all of you for the info. I will attempt taking off the moldings when it gets a little nicer out! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

no problem mobe, in know the offset, its 7 for the front and 7 3/4" for the rear, did you get any rubbing issues, or about what the torque thrust guys get.

I get very little rubbing. The only time it rubs is if I bottom out REALLY hard, and sometime if I go up a steep enbankment(sp?) at an angle. I don't have an adj. PHR either. You may or may not need one.

If those numbers are the offsets then I'm pretty sure the backspacing is 50mm. Have you tried to do a search?

Good luck!

Thanks for all the responses about the molding <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I think it looks great without it and it might possibly be something I do when it gets a little warmer outside. Steele, you have one awesome looking car! I love that color <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />
