yea I never thought Texas would have inspection weird!!! I am from Alabama originally and they just started requiring insurance a couple years back!!! LOL I was pissed!! But I was young and I now realize ins. is a good thing but now I live in Fla. and ins. cost out the ass here. Hope we never have inspection here. also-I see no front tag. LOL I dont blame ya!

well, TX is a 2 plate state but i refuse to drill into my front end to comply and let camera cops prevail. cops dont pull you over from the front, they pull you over from behind so IMO, a front plate is really worthless and nothing but a revenue generator...

my insurance went up big time moving from Kansas City to here, but that is also due to the fact my previous car was paid for and was not full coverage, and now I have full coverage on the SS...

Hey I know that car!!

Welcome to LS1

Am I missing something? My 98 SS did not come with any molding. My car looks like all the 'after' pics. Maybe b/c I ordered my SS w/ no options except the no-cost M6?

**LETHALxLS1** · 06-20-2007, 06:58 AM

Your car came with the factory !trim kewl!! Less work for you.

**beanie** · 06-23-2007, 06:35 AM

guess so.....weird. never noticed any other SS's w/ trim, but then again, never really see that many others either

I tried taking off the door guards this weekend, and it was not a good idea. I just took off one piece that is on the back fender. After taking it off, the edge of the trim had been rubbing against the paint and scratched it.

So, I decided just put it back on and live with the door trim.

i have a white ss and i did this due to this thread and i am very happy with the results my car looks cleaneer, plus the factory molding wasnt even straight.
