side moulding

Personally I think that the side moulding should be there.
The celica body shape is very flat on the sides, so a line has to be there to provide some sort of form unless the line is lower with side skirts, be it colour coded or a different colour.
There is the slight lower body line, but that is rather too subtle in my eyes
The st205 pulls it off as it has a firmer body line from factory

93cc i still have the side mouldings in good condition laying round the house. if you find your way going to las vegas you can pick them up.
as for the side moulding the upper half of the car is more prone to dirt and scratches from dirt getting kicked up by the tires. its also a good reson to park farther away to avoid door dings. but the car looks so much smoother.

I'm left mine on, but stripped off all of that "textured" paint below the trim piece.
IMHO it looks MUCH better when the paint above and below match.
I don't think the car looks quite right with my "4WD Turbo" decal right above if it were not there.
Another thing I noticed is that the lines better accentuates the "slope" of the car with it on, which I really like.

Molding off looks ok on the black cars... Not feeling it at all on the red ones
