Take it off it improves the body lines.

You will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Just make sure its warm where you live so the glue on the tape is softer.

The side moldings don't protect you from ****, it's the quarter panels that get fucked up with door dings.

I never parked close when I had them on the car so there wasn't any change in parking habits for me.

Ive thought about taking mine off for a long time now, but if you took the side moldings off, would you guys suggest taking the "Trans Am" emblem off the door? I was thinking about taking the side moldings off, but leaving the "Trans Am" emblem on the door, but im afraid it will look kind of out of place.
