Gives the car a sleeker look. I only removed the moldings, left the Trans Am emblems though.

Thanx alot i like it to and i will also be leaving the trans am emblems on. When i take them off what is it liek double sided tape holding them on. And since my car is black u think there will be a mark from where they were. And will there be any glue resin i would have to take off and if there is whats the easiest way to get that off??

Thanks, and yes the side moldings are just held on with emblem tape. I just waited untill it got warm outside (or you can use a heat gun) and pulled mine off, then used some 3M adhesive remover that I got at Wal-Mart to clean the adhesive off and went over it with some polishing compound then buffed it.
