I have them on my car. Pics to follow.  I guess it is personal taste, but I feel they do more good than harm, because, once they are on, are you going to take them off???  I've had the car for over 25 years they were on when I bought it, there are a few chips around them but I feel they would have been worse without them on.

I was going to say leave them off but after seeing Imchallenged pic they don`t look too bad.Worst case you may have to repaint the doors if the buyer wants them off.


I'm sorta a "by the sheet" kinda guy...the type of guy that would put body side molding on a Hemicuda if that was the way it came....


 :2thumbs: That is why I would put them on.Everybody puts Hockey sticks on.

 :wow: :droolingbounce: I think those look excellent on your RT/SE...The more bling the better I say....My car has the SE style belt molding as well like your car....I think those pictures may have just made up my mind...

My Convertible has them.  I think they looked great on a car that was optioned with a lot of trim.  A more bare-bones optioned car, maybe not so good.  But I do like the way they look on my car.

I put them on my car.

Like was mentioned, it scratches the pain, so I'm leaving them on for good.

I saw them on 2 Challengers side by side. One was an R/T with the hood blackout, painted roof and a go wing. It just didn't look right to me. The other car was an R/T with no blackout vinyl top and a luggage rack and it they looked really good there.

Well....sorry guys, just like the countries we live in, the minorities always seem to come out on top.... :smilielol: You can blame "Imchallenged" for posting pictures of his car and convincing me the direction I had to go...

Actually, I've never been one to follow the majority...and I just couldn't bring myself to leaving them in the trunk....As I said I like to restore cars with nothing added or nothing subtracted...

So here they are in all their glory....

...and I fully understand if you don't want to buy the car now... :scared:

I think everyone in ontario right now agrees with you right now. If I even think about driving the car it rains.
