thanks for the red and orange ones guys, i definitely like it...I am going to have them removed as well as the formula badge when I go and get the stupid dent fixed on my rear quarter...
I love white t/a's! . hey sorry kinda forgot about my computer for a while lol
my car is red though... i only have a couple cell phone pics of it... but i like it besides the fact that the pieces that are on the car now are cracked from being bent for some odd reason... ill take more pics tomorrow if i dont get rain here, but i think we are gonna
not a good pic of it because you can barely see the trim itself, but ill get ya some more up as soon as i get a dry chance

Figured I'd chime in here with my side molding removal story....
I just got finished with detailing my car (two stages compounding and polymer sealant)...car looks awesome. After reading this thread last night, I decided it would be little additional effort to go ahead and remove the side molding (I had side molding delete on my '96 T/A, with no difficulties)...so, I pull the passenger side molding off first, only to discover that the door had been repainted below the trim!!!! Agh...I figure maybe I can buff the area, and it won't be as noticeable, but after buffing, there was a noticeable color difference where the paint had been masked, so I wound up spending about an hour removing the old adhesive from my side molding and re-adhering it the door. Glad I only removed one side!!! So, it seems that instead of removing my faded side molding, I'll purchase new, and have it painted a graphite gray to contrast with my pewter paint. Just thought I would share....

thanks for all the pics guys...molding will be coming off in a couple weeks when i get my dent, marker light, front end, and hood all fixed and touched up...
Man these car's look sweet ! I just sold my camaro 2000 ss i removed the side molding on it. I think it looks way better with the molding off. Now i have a 2000 TA i was skeptical about the way it looks on trans am's but now after seeing these cars im taking it off tonite.
Thanks guy's

yeah i park in a garage for school so theres no way im taking mine off. i do have a pass and my own personal spot (i work for the garage) but somehow, someway someone will find a way to swing their door into my car. thats where the moulding will save me. it does look good without it though, i never realized how much of a difference !moulding can make. nice cars
