Hey everyone. Im wondering if anyone has taken off the strips on the side of their doors. I'm wondering if it would like better or just stupid. How was it done and was there painting required?

 

Why take them off when they are painted already?

 

and there are holes underneath

 

u have to take them off and fill the strip and the holes and paint it.

 

I think it will look weird without them. Lines like that make the car asthetically longer and sleeker. Just my opinion.

 

exactly what i wanted to know. Thanks alot guys.

 

IMO it looks nice without it. Different...but nice.

 

photochop? just for kicks?

 

IMO it doesnt look good without them because it makes the door look way to big

 

plus they help protect the metal from door dings

 

i agree they are functional and help the look of the car. but still, any photochop?

 

post a pic, i'll photoshop it

 

i did mine. yea, there are little holes you need to fill and then of corse repaint, but to me it looks 'sleek' and clean, heres a pic...

 

meh, not my thing now that i see it. too clean and bare. the sides need SOME lines.

 

^^or in my case, some door handles. i just like the 'shaved' look

 

Here is a PhotoShop:

 

Personally, I like it. I will probably take mine off in the summer and bondo/paint over the holes. It looks cleaner. But to each his own.

 

thats looks good, i guess i changed my mimd after seeing that picture

 

i took mine when i was prepping it for paint. just make sure you heat it up to loosen the adhesiveand pull gently. i used a hair dryer. you could prbably use a heat gun as well.

 

i shaved mine as well

 

:thread jack:
ok, for all of you guys who took yours off. Do you still have them? I know this is not the right place but I am having trouble finding the front driver side molding. Please PM me if you have it in good shape with no broken tabs.

 

I am likely to shave mine this spring as well...
