I know some don't like the side molding on the 03 and previous models, but I would not remove mine for anything. No door dings in my doors.

I actually removed mine for a while, but it turned out that one door had been repainted and the difference in colors was barely noticeable. I drove around for a while with the molding off of the "good" side and I had lots of opportunities to see the car with and without the molding. In the end, I decided I liked it with the molding. I think the coupes look better without the molding, but the verts need it (in my humble opinion).

Default very bad day

Rev. Sam, My right headlight had a run-in with a pickups trailer hitch. Light lost. Left my phone number under wiper arm, just in case. Went back to the truck 2 hours later note still there. I went home. Within 10 minutes of getting home I received a call from the local police. At that point I found out that in the wonderful state of NJ leaving a note is unacceptable you can have a warrant being issued for your arrest and charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Fought my Insurance company for 3 months. They wanted to pay the woman for a new bumper. After 3 claims agents I finally found one that understood the height of my headlight was at least 6" below the bumper of the truck. After some investigation they found she had the bumper replaced 6 months before and must of scuffed it some time before my run-in with the trailer hitch and wanted another new one. By the way why do pickup drivers need to have all that iron hanging out behind their vehicle when their not towing anything. They're made to be taken off! Jack
