Haha, sweet. It really does look better without it. Really shows the curves on the bottom of the door and around the wheel wells.

rear bowtie took me about 1 1/2 hours and the trim took me about 50 min a side.

the trim just kinda, peels off once you get it started. really easy, the hard part is picking off all the crap.

Guess I'm lucky since my car came from the dealer without the door molding, so I never had to endure the removal process lol.

Mine has it. Sedan model though. It'd be nice not to have it so it's easier to chamois it after washing it... it catches a bunch of water.

I think cars in general look much nicer without a random line through the side. I want to remove mine but im afraid that someone will put a dent in my door if I do. Either that or ill someow mess something up, even tho I did the rear badges without much of a probelem.

A lot of it has to do with picking a theme and sticking to it. I went with chrome grilles and lights, so LBM and Chrome.
You have LGM and black lights, grills and bowtie, so you're on to something already!
