I’m thinking about removing the body side moldings from my car. What do you like better, with or without. They are held on with double sided tape. I’ve been told it takes about an hour to get all the adhesive off, but that it wont damage the paint. How much horsepower will I loose without them?😃 ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/deercula/vetteatsheridanpark.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/deercula/vetteatsheridanpark.jpg) ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/deercula/1999blackFRCnobsmcopy.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/deercula/1999blackFRCnobsmcopy.jpg) ---

yeah, they look good either way. when i had my vette I was in the same boat as you. Sadly, i left them on because they actually protect the car from door dings…not that I ever parked near anyone. ---
