and
setxws6 what drop is that?[/QUOTE]

It's BMR 1 inch lowering springs. I think they are a perfect drop for me. Not too much. I wanted that 4x4 look to go away, but didn't want the low rider look going on. It makes the 17x11s look a whole lot better when lowered.

Thanks.
I'd thought about then saw it on some Camaros & thought it would separate my TA from all the other monochrome birds.

Here are some pics of my 98 sport gold metallic with removed moldings, i think the letters were harder to remove than the moldings, but i did them on a cooler day... Heat gun recommended..

It looks like crap. I took my moldings off first and with no moldings and the badges they look WAYY out of place.

It's like the car has a really smoothe appearance and BAM you have the big gawdy badge. I liked it when I had moldings though.

I don't think mine looks weird with the T/A emblem, and no mouldings, judge for yourself

Take a complete side shot. That's the angle I didn't like it from not the 3/4 shot like you two posted.
