I can't decide. Do you think my car would look better with or without rocker trim?

Why not do one side with; the other side without.

For those with bipolar disorders...

I think it looks great without the rocker moulding.

I'd leave it. It looks real clean.

I'd say since you are running sans front corral do the same with the rocker panel.....the red pops already...no need.

I carefully taped the molding onto one side to see how it looked. Eventually I went without it. Your car looks great without them.

I went back and forth with mine and finally decided I like it without. Leave it off.

I agree with the group, it looks great the way it is!

Don't jack up perfection!

Could you do what jpyoung said, maybe tape it on and take a photo and post it? I haven't seen side mouldings on to say whether or not I like 'em or not.

Yep, less is more.

I dunno, I like the moulding. But that's me:)

It isn't, I also like all of the original trim stuff.

6t6red · « **Reply #13 on:** August, 11, 2009, 09:54:30 AM »

I have the trim so I can try and tape it on and stand back for a look. I originally planned on putting all trim back on, but I kind of like the muscle look it has now. My wife and kids think it should be put on but I think it will be too much bling. Maybe friday I can tape it on for a look.

GT350 · « **Reply #14 on:** August, 11, 2009, 12:12:16 PM »

i like the cleaner look

KBMWRS · « **Reply #15 on:** August, 12, 2009, 02:52:24 PM »

Not sure if this matters to you but the trim will take more abuse from road debris meaning no paint chips.

Just a thought.

I'm taken some heat from the wife about this. She has been a good sport about all the time I have put into this car the past year and she would like the trim on the car. I still want opinions from everyone and see which way it goes. I can live with the trim on the car but I think I like it better without. I will show her the results of the poll. :tigg

AzPete · « **Reply #17 on:** August, 13, 2009, 04:49:11 AM »

If you want to keep peace plus continue on building cars, your wife will be correct. :rofl I did my last one with, this car now is without. I prefer without.

silverblueBP · « **Reply #18 on:** August, 13, 2009, 04:59:06 AM »

Nice knowing you if you choose opposite of your other 1/2, I was going to paint my car GO until Deb "thought" it would be better with the color that Ford gave it.

AtlantaSteve · « **Reply #19 on:** August, 13, 2009, 06:10:22 AM »

Did any models come from the factory without it? It seems that MOST of the non-stock mustangs you see riding around have it removed.

I removed mine too. I think it looks like really thin cheap stamped metal.....cause it is.

silverblueBP · « **Reply #20 on:** August, 13, 2009, 06:38:35 AM »

Here's my car with rocker trim before restoration and then after without.

70_Fastback · « **Reply #21 on:** August, 13, 2009, 06:57:42 AM »

The rocker moldings make you look faster Mark. Maybe you could catch the cruiser then.... :dumas

Fast68back · « **Reply #22 on:** August, 13, 2009, 07:18:08 AM »

Did you mix up the paint when you redid it? Looks like the baby blue that was the interior color is now the exterior color and the black exterior is now the interior color....

70_Fastback · « **Reply #23 on:** August, 13, 2009, 07:20:38 AM »

Buuuurn!
