I have been thinking about doing this for awhile now. The only two concerns I have are:

1. Being a 99' and white car, would the paint be messed up/different color underneath the molding?

2. Being a daily driver, in parking lots, is it worth the appearance mod to chance a ding in my door shell?

Let me know what you all think.

Thanks
Andy

well the color can be compounded i would think and plus if the car is cared for they are not old enough to fade much, as far as dings our cars and that moulding is very low and most cars will hit above that thing anyway ive never got a mark on it before

edit:
you have a camaro i think yours is higher, either way your gettin a ding if u get hit so make your choice, im takin mine off it looks to nice to not, plus i park miles away from people lol and walk
