rain guards?

the little ledging that is above both the driver/passenger windows....anyone remove them or seen them removed before? thinking about getting rid of them to smooth out the appearance of the car.

I dont see why you cant take them off, my GTA doesnt even have them but I know what your talking about because my 84Z did have them.

if you plan to do it...you''l have to rip out all of your weather stripping... because it lies beneath the weather stripping....

everything is somewhat shot on this car anyhow. figured it might make for cleaner lines on the body. anyone have a detailed close up picture of a car without them?

Hey stage 20 I was taking a quick glance at this post when I noticed the pics you posted...The one on bayfront park by Landry's and the other down by Opal Beach I'm guessing...But I live in Gulf Breeze and have never seen your car...You got a nice looking ride...maybe when I'm home from college we could hook up and compare cars.
