[TX2000]

After sitting for like 2 hours looking at the car just decide to remove em .. it looks awesome!!

I somehow like it better with moldings, looks too bare. I love your wheels.

Without the moldings, it kinda reminds me of the new BMW 5 and 7 series.....KINDA. Looks pretty good.

Now you have to remove the "2.3" badges.

Kinda reminds me of that new Scion tC.

could someone do a before/after pic?

 

[Lil Freek]

lower the car.. dear lord!

looks nice though... very clean

I dunno... it looks as if something is missing (which obviously is)

IMHO it looks better with the moldings, yet on a protege I think it looks much better without, but I would bet that is because the protege's have that body line there that flows between the wheel wells...

I dunno...

maybe if it was lowered...

i need to get my suspension .. i already order it but need to pick it up...

stupid work.....


oh btw the 2.3 badge stays there!!!

I'll post pics as soon as possible. I have a sedan with 17'' fastwheels now lowered with progress springs. I removed the molding the second week I had the car and I really like the looks of the car. Anyway, will post pics soon...

Why? If anything move it somewhere else. Stuck where it is right now it seems like it's floating in mid-air. To each their own I guess. (drive)

how the 2.3 badge looks there?

 

[Witchdoktor]

looks awesome with the molding gone! super clean

will look even better when lowered

btw - 2.3 badge would be gone if it were me

Looks great there! But what if they were black?

What about placing the badges on the C pillars?

 

[VPower]

I would remove the 2.3 badge.. no need, and its add weight to your car (lol2)
IHMO: i prefer mazda3 without 2.3 badges..

how would i put the moldings back if i were to take it off.

3M double sided automotive trim tape, that's what they used in the first place.

After...sittin' for an hour including the 30min of reading this thread, I decided to take the door moldings off my MZ3. My girlfriend and I took them out yesterday night and I was about 1hr removing the excess tape/glue of the moldings. But now looks WAY better...

Thanks for the tip guys...
