I think it looks cool. One of the best mods I have done so far. Makes polishing the car much easier!

I know what you mean. I put on the trans am overlay decals on, just not with the raised lettering.

i agree, i think they look better with the molding and badge. with the way the trans am/formula doors are, the molding just kinda flows with it all. when you take it off, i think it looks like someone sliced down the side of the door. lol, maybe im weird though. either way i think the cars look awsome, i just dont see how horrible the molding there is, lol.

looks great! I wish I could take mine off but I'm afraid the paint won't match since the door has been repainted above the molding.
