Door Moldings

:
2003 Mazda Protege 5
How do you guys feel about removing the door moldings? Good idea? I have searched and cannot find any good pics of a p5 with it removed.
 
i did it and it looks good. yeah there is a body line on the door. but its a much cleaner look than having the molding on there. IMO.

that how to is a good thing to follow. but use an old credit card or something similar to get the glue off, it makes it go much faster than just your fingers.

Uhm.... well go to my profile and do a search of all threads started by me. I have a billion pictures of my car with out the side mouldings. My wife refers to my car as the mistress because I spend more time with the car.


I think the car looks smoother and cleaner with out the side mouldings.

I just took my door moldings off of my car before I had it repainted. Every door ding I had was in the body line of the door handles not down low.

Take em off. It's looks good with out them.
 
Thank you guys for the input. Now when my wife notices i can say everyone else said i should do it. That way it is not my fault.

Exactly where mine are all located...Wonder if they would be there if I had my moldings still....Well worth the look, just don't park close to anyone.

I have the same problem, that's why I've been thinking about taking off the moulding, they don't serve any purpose.
