Default Pics of Black TAs w/o side moldings?

Debating taking off the side moldings on my black 02 ta. Wondering if someone could post some pics of a Black ta w/o side moldings to let me see what it would look like and maybe some opinions. Thanks

I don't have pics of mine yet but be careful that you don't have the same problem that I did, which was that my car has been recleared with the moldings on the car so it looks good in some places and not so good in others. Eventually I will need to at the very least have the car cleared again and or painted. Most people wouldn't notice it but I do....Definitely looks better w/o them though!!

Your fingers might be a little pissed off after the blisters form but you won't regret taking them off.

Take my advice and make sure you test with one of the small sections of molding before you rip everything off. I took everything off just to realize that the car had been recleared and/or repainted. What a waste...

Take off one of the small sections first - and clean the spot up totally (I used goo-gone to get the adhesive off). If your car has been painted or cleared, you will see the original paint where the strip was and the new will be raised up some. If it has been painted, might as well put that section back on and forget it.
