I was wondering how a Trans Am would look with all the trim/molding/badges shaved off. Has anyone done this and if so can someone direct me to some pictures?

I did it to my LT1 TA years ago, looked good. It all started because some one ripped the head off the Firebird on the nose at my old college apartments. This was in '03, still mad about it.

Thanks guys. I left the badges for now, but removed the trim pieces and also the bird off the nose. The car looks so much sleeker with that cheap junk removed.

Anyone experimented with removing the molding-type thing under the driver/passenger side? Since it's just bolted on I think I might try it out. Somebody actually tried to tell me I had a body kit on my car and now I kind of see it :eyes:

Mine are gone. Some people really like it / some people ask me when I'm gonna' put them back on...

I like the 'clean' look.

I know for basically every other car I have seen shaved i HIGHLY prefer it. I would have to see a T/A in person though....

Shaved! Its soo much easier to detail your car. You don' have to worry about getting wax residue around the badges.
