I know this is gonna come back to kick me in the @ss but i dont have pics..
You can take the moldings you took off and put them under the front air dam...This gives the car the look as if it has a small front lip spoiler on it i test fitted mine today but i have to go to pep-boys and get some double sided 3m tape and ill stick them there and post pics someday dont know when..lol...i used the back one now mind you, you can use the ones from the front door but you will have to cut them like maybe 3in or so.. i used the ones from the back and i didnt have to cut them and they will fit perfect! So i hope this give some of you diy selfers some more mods to do for fun...(rockon)
 
definetely post some pictures this should be interesting to see!!

i can't believe i'm at 94 posts already, sheesh! (thumb)

Im sure it looks great because I just thru mine away last week.(pissed) I got tired of looking at them in my garage.
 
yea that does look nice!!! are those the mazdaspeed protege rims on the mazda3 hahah in the smoke stack picture?
 
LOL...these are some places here in delware near delaware city!!! yea this took like 15 mins to do remove the old one clean off excess adhesive on the molding the retape them with new tape and place on front air dam now let me mind you that the back ones dont meet in the middle like the front do i may put those on i dunno gonna leave as is for now!
 
lol great now your gunna have people makin sport strips and all sorts of things with the left over moldings. ;) From the side it dosent look bad, I dont like the front though, basically because they taper in and out from each other, if you had them flush together I think it would look cool, just a little added touch. Creative none the less!


Oh I just had an idea, you could space them apart and stay inline with the edge of the center grill, it would give the corners a little flared look.
