Default Trans Am Side Moldings?

Anybody have or know where I can get the side moldings for a 2000 Trans Am? I want to put them back on because the car looks soft in my opinion.

That might be a tough one. LOTs of people are pulling them off.... but I don't know if you would be able to find any news ones.

If you still have the old ones.... you might be able to clean the remeaning sticky off the back side of them and re-install them with some 3m stick tape.

Best bet.... just leave them off.

I took mine off but left the lettering on there and that's how it'll stay. I've seen cars with everything removed and they look too plain. The TransAm lettering makes it still look clean and not too plain.

They're expensive as **** if you go to the stealership. I had one of my doors hit on my previous T/A and on the insurance receipt it was unreal. I don't have them on my car now and love it. Mine's just like Mean Green's set up.
