    Body mouldings/rubstrips Removal--- Thoughts?

    Is it me or would the Delorean look even better without the black body mouldings/rubstrips ?

    Looking at photo of door with molding and gasket material removed (courtesy of Morpheus) ...sure looks clean!

    I find removing them makes the car look very plain, and makes the door handle stick out like a sore thumb.

    Thanks for your feedback Josh.

    I also didn't think it completely through.... what about the fender side marker lights and rear quarter panel marker lights.... we would end up with holes and having to come up with something for there.

    If we left the marker lights on and just removed all the other rubber strips it would most likely look stupid : (

    The rubstrips also help with potential minor dings from doors in parking lots.

    They also hold snow during the winter lol.

    I have seen pics with the rub strips removed. It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look any better either.

    Good points Nick & Michael.

    Michael do you have any photos you can share of the car with side moldings removed? I'm guessing they left the side markers in place, correct?
