Default two tone removeable???

It looks as if all the two tone could possibly be removed. Has anyone tried to remove the lower portion of their car??? Is this even possible??? I searched but got zero results.

what do you mean remove it? you do realize that those plastic pieces fit into indents int he doors and quarter panel/fenders right?

regardless, no. you need to REPAINT the panels if you want to go single tone.

Or get them vinyl'd. That seems to be the way of the future these days.

^^^^moron.
Just paint them you idiot, there part of the body of the car. If you take them out you will have indents and missing parts. Your car will look like crap. Just the paint the whole car or the bottom portion ...

Default Paint the molding

yea you would have to paint the molding. My car is currently in the paintshop getting an all black pearlescent finish. After replacing my door (car accident) they say that its cheaper to paint it all one color, as opposed to repainting the car to factory specs (two tone).


also note that if you ever have to replace the moldings, they are specific for the 90-92 and then 93-94. 93-94 models don't have the rubber seal on the bottom and is curved differently, making the side skirt look taller.
