!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.

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'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.

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.
