Ok, take a look at my pics in my user page, I'm thinking about doing the following:
Removing the gold Pinstripe and removing the body side moldings (the mid-height "bumpers" in other words). I think it would clean it up and help out the lines very nicely. Whatcha think? --------------------  |

About the pinstripe i agree. But not on the body side "bumpers" its what makes our cars special i think.

if you leave them on your car is bound to get hit more often than if you take them off. Get rid of those damn things, they are tacky as all hell

I'd take it all off. I'd take off the side skirts too though. I've never liked the stock side skirts on these cars to much, I think they look cleaner without it. 6gc's are a really rounded car, the side skirts are square, and the through the look of the car off. But, that's just my opinion.

You really think it would, I figured white looks better on the red Celicas.

White rims look like trash no matter what color car they're on. But that's just my $.02.

I would take off both the pinstripes and bump stop things. BUT, idk if either would leave marks on your car. My car is black and you can see wher ethe pinstripes use to be, only from real close tho. And how are the bump stops on? Theres no holes right? And if it is adhesive, plan on a couple of hours at getting that off with no scratches. (Bug and tar remover works great).
P.S.- i dont like white rims either no matter what color the car is |
