There's a long shot of my no trim. Just took a few new pics, might put them up later. I like it alot better without the trim as mine was poorly re-attached and sagged at the end of each piece.

I removed my trim, but be warned: it may be loose in some places but still firmly attatched in others. When I was taking out mine, it ripped off some paint with it on the passengers door. I also discovered some rust under there, so be prepared to find some interesting things.

Personally, I think the cars look too bare without the trim.

Depends on the color IMO. I had a friend with a white SA, it looked awesome w/o the trim. NanaimoRx-7's looks tight too, but he really really needs to lose those waffle wheels!!!!!

Get some 16's man!

Realistically, it'll probably end up with Riken's or BBS mesh wheels if I can find some.

I'd suggest only removing your trim if you're planning on respraying the car very soon, i spent a good 2-3 hours getting my trim off, pealing and sanding off all the little pieces of left over sticky foam. Alot of paint came off with those trim pieces.
