door molding & badges

I plan on removing my side moldings on my TA but I'm not sure if I want to leave the "Trans Am" badging too? What do you guys think? Any pics?

Here is a pic of my car.

Thanks

If you decide to keep the Trans am lettering on, I would suggest doing a black overlay on them, so they stand out more. something like these...............http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/pontranamdoo.html

Here's a pic of my car with no mouldings or lettering........

I first removed the molding, but left the Trans-Am badge.....about a week ago I decided to pull the badge as well. It looks much better with both removed.

i just got black badges not overlays, overlays seem kind of poor quality and the sponge catches them.

Thanks guys, I think I'm just going to start with the molding and see how I like it. But I think that I'll end up taking the lettering off too for the cleaner look.
