Good for you.

The car was designed without them and they knew what they were doing:

My vote is take it off. When I bought my Coupe I had it off the same day.

You can use fishing line to slide between the door and the mouldings then just clean up the adhesive with googone.

Fishing line?....And all this time I though it was only good for getting your hook and weight wet without loosing them?.....If I decide to remove them thanks for the great idea.

I always thought the BSM haters were in the majority but the final tally on a poll was quite closer with the lovers just losing

No one is on the fence though. Seems you love em or hate em.

Time for another poll maybe?

You know how I feel about this. I ordered my car and got it with every single option available except for two; front license plate holder because NC doesn't use them and body side moldings because I have no use for them.
