I'm talking about the black plastic trim around the windows on the outside. I was told they're held on with adhesive like the door moldings and its just body color underneath, so I'm curious about what the car looks like with the trim removed. Has anyone done this?

I might try one door myself when it warms up, just to see what it looks like, and if its not good just stick the trim back on with silicone.

It was the first thread to appear when I conducted a search.

I did do a search, maybe I didn't have the right words. Thanks.

IT looks great on sedans.. on hatches... sorry to say but HELL NO

Yah I just looked through that other thread....ewwww definitely not so good on hatches. I'll leave that tape on.

great decision

As info, I wasn't trying to be an ass so I hope it didn't come across that way, I know searching can be tricky at times.

Personally, I would never remove the trim, sedan or hatch. IMO, it makes it look like a base model.

Plenty of existing threads on this, and the one Daniel linked is a good one.
