how you guys like it?

Looks good. I have thought about doing the same on our car. What did you use to remove the adhesive -- the 3M stuff?

Good job. So much cleaner. I debadged my doors, too. So clean!

really i pulled the molding off by hand and worked the adhesive with my fingers/thumbs/hands to get it all off used alittle bit of tar and bug remover to get the small stuff off and to weaken the adhesive!

its funny tho if you are not a big f-body person it seems like they dont notice small things like that but to me its a world of difference!

It really cleans up the body lines on 'Birds.

I was debating on whether or not to do this with my car...I was afraid of doing it because my car is white.

IMHO i would do it i would be more worried if your car was a dark color like mine(red, blue, black, green, ect!)

Maybe its a TA thing. Camaro guys are all worried about being badged as a ss or a z.

Came out pretty nice OP. :yup:

thats cause badges are the only thing to separate the looks of a z from a v6 car other than the exhaust

Looks good op, how about a pic from a little farther back

It looks nice. I like it. It really never bothered me so I never took the initiative to remove them from my car. Then again, I haven't done any appearance mods on my car to date other then the 35th LE grille.

looks so much better...

Z28 badges off would look alot better
