I want to see some pics of white sedans with out the door moldings, i am THINKING about taking mine off but i don't know how it would look...ive seen this a lot of HB but not too much on sedans. I have black pin stripes on mine.

They are on there w/doubled sided "gray" tape. You can put them back on if you want to.
I hem-hawed around about it too and now am glad I did it. The moldings really don;t protect too much and not very well at that. taking them off will not make much difference at all, except in appearance, and you're gonna like that.
Besides, it's a FREE MOD!!! Gotta' love the free ones. It'll lighten up your car!! More usable HP!!! Take some weight off, and it'll look so much better.

IF i put them back on i think i will end up putting them on crooked see the modlings looking like a see saw, how would i avoid that. or having one molding on one side of the car higher/lower than on the other side of the car.

Measure from the ground up and from the window line down. Then use blue masking tape as a guide. It wouldn't be that hard.

I took mine off ~2 years before the AM wheels came along and was happy w/the results even then.
