Took my door moldings off today because i was bored. It didn't do much for the boredom cuz it only took about 5 minutes and a little wax. But it does look alot better.

I just took mine off the other day too, I like the clean look but unfortunately on a white car it left a yellowish chemical stain behind, all the tape and glue came off but theres a yellowish line and I've tried a clay bar, rubbing compound, pre wax cleaner, and wax and there is still a faint line left, kind of wishing I left them on.
it goes away after some exposure to the sun i took mines of the 2nd day i got it, left a stain washed it and everything next day, it dissapeard
I'm really hoping thats what mine does, I'm out of cleaning products to try. I've noticed the same thing with bug guts on my clear bra, the neon orange and yellow ones stain and they wont come off after i wash and use bug and tar remover but the next time i wash the car they are gone.
yup, plain and flat doors and ding magnet... it's not "clean" when it's bland! (puke)hmmmmm very plain, the doors look very tall and long. To each his own. I personally like mine on but a lot of people like theirs off. Great work on the UN-install, looks clean
yeah, i don't think i like them off either. it seperates the door really well.
Cant agree more, looks better on the hatch,but off on the sedan.

I just took mine off of my 07 last month. On a hot day, I was able to start it with some fishing line, then pull the rest off with only a tiny amount of residue left behind.
Buffed the doors with 3M Fine Cut Clearcoat Compound and here's the result:
I'm down with the clean.
thanks for agreeing. The door moldings are there to prevent dents, I bet if I took the effort to take them off, I'd get door dents left and right.
They don't work at all for preventing dents....most SUV's will hit the door right above the moulding.
haha i was thinking that the other day when i parked next to a gay suburban. fawking tall ass cars... Ah well. I just like how it gives some color to the door, otherwise the doors look too long/wide, almost like it needs something there to fill the void
but its cool everyone has their own oppinion and I do not hate on anyone for taking them off, its up to them.haha i was thinking that the other day when i parked next to a gay suburban. fawking tall ass cars...

I hear ya...sometimes i feel like I should have kept them on..the doors do look too tall. Oh well, it's much easier to wax

yeah. i like them on or off, i just personally want mine on. it probably is a lot smoother to wash and wax.
