A few months ago someone posted pics of a new pearl white paint job and they had removed these. His car looked absolutely fantastic.

EDIT: Found the link for you. I think the car looks amazing.

I used to have a picture on my computer of a silver GP coupe, debadged, moldings removed, and door handles shaved. It look beautiful, cept it had snowflakes... regardless you don't have to go that extreme, not to mention shaved handles look weird on 4-doors =P

Edit: Found it.



Now shave the ribs and throw the damn door handles back on and that's how a GP SHOULD have looked. Obviously with correct options considering not all GP's were Daytonas, and 18" wheels should have at least been an option.

how do they open the doors?

Door solenoids. Basically remote-controlled device the activates the door mechanism (as if there were a handle and you were pulling it) and then pushes the door ajar so you can grab the side of the door and open it.

Obviously it's a ***** if it breaks or if it's used in winter and you start getting ice in the door jambs.

Shawn your car is straight sex. Still gotta see it in real life.. You bringing it to the dream cruise??

Trust me, looks worse on ANY 4-door.

are you guys serious on deleting the side moldings? it looks good but do you know how many dents they prevent? have fun parking and getting angry when you have a dent mobile.

i dont really think taking off the side moldings looks all that better, i actually think it looks worse theres too much room on the door and the molding breaks it up some and bio is right about the dents

Do you know how many new cars don't even have those anymore? Obviously a smart driver parks between the lambos and not the tempos. Better yet, most places I go to have an area of parking lot that almost no one even parks in, and is near areas you can't even drive. (IE. Parking spot next to a curb) and walking is good for you.

i always try to park in between nice cars when i see them lol that or ill park in a seperate section farther away and then my passenger will always btch saying how we gotta walk, i tell them to bring they're car next time

Side moldings are staying on. With out them i think it makes the door look HUGE and like nick said makes the lower moldings stick out.

whatever you know what i meant lol i usually use "their" when i should be using "there" or "they're"... isnt that funny
Anyway, i think it looks huge too, it looks a little better on certain colors i think but silver isnt one of them imo
