I finally pulled off the side moldings off the car for more of a clean look. They were a bit faded as well. I also put a set of charcoal metallic Blackbird style stripes on. I'm on the fence with this one. Not too sure if I like it or not yet. Your comments are greatly appreciated. Please be gentle

 

****, I thought I was posting in the apperance section instead of the LT1 section. Mods, can you please move this if necessary.

 

I think the stripes look good. I dont know what to think about the side molding yet.
Give me a while to think about it.

 

Ever since I saw Bizzzatch350's car and he told me he had removed the molding I've been wondering why more people don't do it.

The car looks awesome.

 

I pulled the molding on my 3rd gen and thought it was a big improvement. but the lines on the 4th gens don't make the moldings stick out as bad... I'm undecided on removing molding on the 4th gens, on or off, it looks good to me both ways. I'll probly leave mine on...

stripes look good

 

Not only does the car look a lot better. Washing and drying it is much easier now that you dont have that speed bump in the middle of your door.

 

it looks real clean to me, the stripes dont look bad at all but i'm on the fence too. i could go either way.

 

Looks great! I'm going to pull the trim off the side of my TA when I'm ready to paint the car. The car is bright red, but the trim is a faded pink color, and in spots, the paint has worn through on the trim. It's also a major PITA to clean/wax around it too.

 

how hard was it to pull the moldings is it just sticky stuff holding them to the body???? also what did you use to pull them just your fingers or a flat head or something

 

I like the stripes on looks good.

 

Car looks clean, and i like the strips. What kinda wheels are they?

 

Just let the car sit in the sunlight for a few hours (85* outside) Didn't want to pry them off, just gave them a little tug, got my fingernail behind it and they popped off. Used a little goo-gone to clean the adheasive off and then hit it with some claybar and some z2 and voila.

 

Wheels are HP Evo's, 19x8.5 upfront and 19x9.5 out back.

Thanks for the compliments guys! Keep'em comming!

 

Damn, that car looks clean as hell and I love silver TA's. Good choice on both appearance mods, this is the first lt1 I've seen going with the blackbird stripes, I've been wondering how that would look.

 

Looks good, I like the stripes too!

 

I love the stripes bud, mine are getting ordered this week!

 

car looks really good man, i took mine off about a month but i left the trans am emblems on.

 

Very Nice,my side moldings come off next spring.

 

thanks chief, car looks smooth

 

Car looks really good! The wheels are what do it for me but removing the side molding and the hood stripe make it look sharp.
