Picture request Silver FB no trim

The title pretty much says it all. I am looking at painting my car all silver and taking off the black trim I just wanna see what it would look like.

Thanks!

That ding jumps right out at you. I hate dings. Makes cars ugly. I have one on the driver side door right on the body line. That one is gonna suck to fix. Nice wheels. I also like the muffler.

Speaking of that ding, did that come stock with the car? I swear that I've seen at least ten first gens, including mine, with a nearly identical ding.

Just another life lesson on why we should be totally self centered a**holes and take up 3 stalls everywhere we park so our cars don't get damaged... I hate how little respect people give each others vehicles in parking lots almost scary to park it.

I no longer drive my 7 to work because of the dent in my door. The protege doesnt seem to get any abuse though. Its weird. Maybe the big wing scares people off or something.

Some look better with it, some look better without it... All i know is im gonna take it all off for my paint job and most likley im not gonna put it all back on. I think it looks pretty clean without it when its done right. I love the look of it with the shaved side reflectors looks awesome. I wonder if this will get me in trouble with my local laws...

It could get you in trouble with the law but I would be more worried about somebody not seeing you because of no reflecters and broadsiding you !!!
