ok, thought that might be, but seems like I cant find pictures of any 71 that don't have them.
I like it either way.
I am really struggling with if I put them on or not....
my plan was to wait till all else was done b4 putting on billboards," see how it looked, complete , with and without"
but my concern now is can the door handle be removed if the door glass is in,
or would I have to remove the door glass to gain access to be able to remove the handle so then I could install billboard?
I have seen how the rear bottom corner should be cut and overlapped ,but what about the door jam area?

It's up to you.  If the car didn't come with them, I wouldn't put them on.  Simply because most other people DO put them on.  I think they still look great without them.

okay...
so if I do decide to put them on, do I have to remove the door glass to gain clearance to be able to remove the door handle, or can the door handle be removed without removing door glass?
