For some reason the doors look bigger/longer without the bar. I still would pick photo A because its different.

Photo A.

I shaved mine off a long time ago, I find it gives a much cleaner look to the car.

I would go with A only if you shaved the manima badge and Nissan bugger off.

A is cleaner (more shaved), but B flows with the ground effects (side skirts) better-- I would say B, but it is a very close decision.

I like both of them, maybe A a little more because it is different. The molding will save you from some door dings in the long run. Nice car.

I think the only way A would work is if you didnt have door handles. But I'd definatly go with B. the side bars makes the car look a little more aggressive.

I honestly could go with either one the way that car looks.

I think A looks a bit more custom but B flows better with the skirting/moldings imho.

But if I HAD to choose only one it would be....



A



And putting 50% gray tint all around I think would look kewl.

I like b with the current setup. Something just doesn't look right in A. It's funny to see such close split. Lots of people going for a and lots for b.

I would go with B...I thought about doing this too. But taking that bar out makes the doors look so big.

I'd do A but be prepaired for more door dings. Unless people there in NZ are not like people here in the US.

I like the trim on the side, breaks up an otherwise featureless panel. It doesn't look bad without it though, just I prefer B.

im sorry but those things have never stopped me from getting a ding....the other doors hit the part of the door that sticks out more than the molding....my entire driver side can prove it....many dents on my door....none on the molding??? but i do kinda like the way they look
