Yea the p5 wasnt as noticable, when I took them off the 3 I was real excited about the results. Nice flat door panels mmmmmmmm.

thanks AzMz6 More Cf goodies to come.....
ChiMSP am thinking of doing this in the summer....

 

[AzMz6]

yea, i would certainly tackle those in the warmer months, unless your patient and have a good heat gun...but i would take them off, really adds to the look..

Decided against removing the mouldings...Took off the rear emblems for the black chrome swap and the paint color is a bit diff under those 2 parts...Car has been sitting in the sun for a year so Im assuming its going to be like that under the mouldings as well.....

Yay environmentally safe paint process.. and us protege people complained about ours wow. I took off my mouldings in 2005, and my car was manufactured June 2002 and at that point had never been in a garage and there is no paint difference. I bet with your emblem situation if you washed it and clay barred it, sealed it, and waxed it you wouldn't be able to tell a color difference anymore.

a good waxing takes care of it. i took my mouldings off a year after i had bought the car and just a wax took care of any mismatch.

Got my painter (I work at a Porsche dealership) to machine buff the areas and while a bit better it was still noticeable to me... Luckily the new badges covered the spots...

 

[ZoomVT]

damn, you must have had some really bad sun.
too bad cause the car looks so much better without the moldings.

where did u get the cell holder recaro seat and what cell is it for ... im gonna get one too haha

 

[VRMS6]

I replaced that onw with a silver/black version that better matches the interior. It will fit most cell phones as the "shoulder harness actually expands/rachets to hold the phone firmly....
