Finally got a chance to take picks

I got the car like a week ago and since I'm at school I couldn't get a chance to take pics immediately. I borrowed my friends camera recently and decided to take some pics. The camera wasn't really all that good so the pictures didn't really turn out the way i wanted it. Let me know what you guys think, I kinda want to take the rain guards and the side body molding off but I'm not too sure yet. (LOL, and NO I didn't put them on thats how the car came)

Nice choice in color!

IMO, the side molding doesn't compliment the lines of the car. It doesn't look terrible, but it looks out of place. You should take it off. I'm not a fan of the rain guards either. Other than that, car looks great

keeping the rain guards on prevents dirt from coming onto the doors and fenders. sure it looks ugly, but its barely noticeable and saves you money on car washes?

there are DIY's on how to take the body side molding off.. sure a lot of people dont like them, but i think they serve a purpose and actually like the look.. but i can understand why you'd wana take them off..

but rain guards?! the rainguards are sick.. any VIP car would be incomplete w/o them IMO. keep those.

body side moldings make the car look more rigid, but the car looks cleaner without them.

it's your preference. same with rain guards/window visors.

Thats for the comments guys, i think i might actually keep the side body moldings and rain guards because they make the car a little more different without taking to much away from it.
