well here is the pic of the car, i'm contemplating just taking the rest of it off...


Should i take the side body molding off the car???

YAY or NAY

 

If you don't mind the risk of a few more door dings after you get it all painted, i say go for it. The cars look alot better without em.

 

I agree, they look cleaner without them, but the theres a bigger risk of dings. If I was getting mine painted, I'd probably take em off.

 

I don't mind mine, if I had the early black squarish ones then I would remove them but mine look nice on the car... also less door dings!

I vote leave em!!

 

take them off. if you dont, and you want to take em off later then youll have to get all those spots repainted on the car. this way, take them off and if you want them back on just buy some the same color or have the rubber pices painted

 

I say yay!

 

YES with the door handels shaved it will look muck better that way IMHO.

 

It will look better, but be careful where you park. Mine were off for a few years after the paint job. But, a couple dings and scratches later(damn parking lots) I got some new ones.

 

Call me crazy but I like them on myself. It gives the car a better flow/line, and the extra door protection.

 

Take it off.

I think most folks wouldn't even have the trim on their cars if there were NO risk of dings.

So the question remains is whether you are willing to take that risk. Plus think of all the extra walking you will need to do since you will be parking in the very far corner of parking lots, etc.

 

I say 'Yay'! Thirdgen's look a lot cleaner in side on profile without them IMHO. Just take care where you park!

 

WITH 'EM!

 

go without em, looks much better. and most SUVs are to high to be stoped by the rubber anyway..

 

How about other cars?
Leave them. I'm keeping mine on my Firebird. To me; I'd much rather have door edge guard, than a bunch of dents in my door.

 

take em off, it looks much better without them on. I think my car looks better with them off anyways. Also, i park in the back of most parking lots anyways That's because of some chick backing into me though....

 

I don't like them. The door looks so much smoother without them on. If you are worried about door dings, just mount a gun on the door so when someone hits it, BANG!!! they won't do that again.

 

Alright thanks guys, I think i will leave them off when the car gets painted....

That way i can test it out for a few weeks to see if i like it, then i can put them back on if the legs get sore from the extra walking.....

Opinions were appreciated guys.....

 

Take 'em off. I did, and think it looks much better. Do it carefully though, and save them. They're not cheap to replace if you decide you'd really rather have them back on

 

I just took mine off during the week. I think the car looks so much better without them. They can always be replaced later on when I get tired of walking the whole parking lot.

 

where do you get your fender vents
(if thats what there called) and did you
have any clearence and issues???????

 

I don't like them. But,fear of door dings and a desire to keep a stock appearance keep them on my car.

 

plus where gm put the guards at, they dont seem to do much good on catching door dings!

 

I agree with cd90rs:

I think the car has nicer lines with them on.
