Default pics of trans am moulding delete

i was just wondering how my trans am would look with the mouldings deleted, i have a black t.a but pics of any color car would be helpfull, just trying to decide if i should take them off , and is it easy to do, i would imagine you would use a heat gun and then peel off. let me know, thanks kenny

Damn, that's a beautiful WS.6. Everyone should do the !moldings mod. It makes the car look soo much cleaner/sleeker.

Thanks - I agree - deleting the moulding on a T/A simplifies the lines a little and "cleans up" the look. I did not get pics before I put it away for the winter but I got it all cleaned up and had the windows tinted Man I can't wait for Spring

It is easy to do. Heat them up with a blow dryer and take a 12" or so long piece of fishing line. Slide the line behind the molding and move the fishing line back and forth like a saw blade. It should come off pretty easily. Then go back with some "goo Gone" or equivalent. Prbably an hour or so process.

This might be a dumb question, but is it painted factory color underneath?

Oh man I can't wait to do this... my molding is sort of off-white and doesn't fit my white paint, but I always thought there was something nasty underneath!

As long your cars weren't repainted, you should be ok.

I suppose I should ask before trying this... but does this apply to my 97 as well? and i'm worried that the paint may have faded a little and it may look odd after taking it off.
