Just a question.

Post by acast2003 » Sun Jun 27, 2010 4:29 pm

Okay, I took care of the rust on my car (near the back left passenger door) some of you have seen my car, and i want some honest opinions.
Should i remove the plastic door trim? I am really struggling with this for some reason. I like the look with and without the trim. I have saw some of the cars on here and the look amazing without the trim.

To me there are two downsides to removing the trim. 1) you could have bubbles or noticeable paint fading. 2) you get more door dings.

I wouldn't do it on my car because I took the wing off to clean under it and saw bubbling under there. If there is bubbling under there, it could be under the door trim so it would look like hell.

The doors look too huge IMO without them. It breaks the large area up.

I didn't have any issues with removing the door trim (or door moldings, as I've known it). I think it makes the car look cleaner.
