!Molding. Can't decide
 
I can't decide if I want to remove the moldings from my red WS6. If I do, not sure if I should leave the TA emblems on. Post pics with molding removed and emblems in tact.

I say remove it all. Doing so makes it look so much cleaner

Remove it, looks ALOT better.

Most of the pictures I have are in the dust and it's hard to tell. But,

Another vote for deleting it. To me it makes our cars look cheap.

Whether you choose to delete the letters or not, the molding is a must. It is awful on these cars and offers no real benefit. The letters don't really bother me, as I don't think they look bad, but I do love the clean look with all of that removed. That's what I did (link in sig to pics)

I was hesitant too, but after I removed the side molding, it instantly changed the look of the car for the better. I also ended up removing the Trans Am moldings from the car too. Just makes for a cleaner look in my opinion.

I'd do it, it makes it look a lot better in my opinion. I left my Trans Am emblem on, but that's because I rather like it.

My best friend removed the molding on his T/A as well.

Delete it.

I'm still very unsure too. Mine is starting to yellow and fad pretty bad. I think the molding looks better on light colored cars. If I had a black T/A it would be gone by now.

Picture of "The Mongoose" with the molding removed. This was before I removed the Trans Am lettering.

I took the molding off mine and kept the lettering, then about a year later decided to pull the lettering.

not once since have I had even the slightest regret about removing it, I say this because most body mods I have done to cars ended up not as good as I thought it would be.

REMOVE ALL OF IT.

my first ws6 i only removed the molding and left the emblem, my new t/a i removed both

The molding always looks better gone. The lettering or emblem looks good either way. To me, it's like having black rims or chrome. It's all in the taste of the owner.

REMOVE IT. Gives it a much cleaner, smoother look.

I removed them, and moved the emblem up a little higher. Also sanded the paint off the face of the emblem as they are made of black plastic.

I like them with the emblems but in a different color so they stand out. The molding could go or stay.
