The pic is chopped off because the tape only covers what i took a pic of.

uh yea...I realized that. what I meant is that the color of the sides doesnt flow towards the back - making it looked disconnected or what I said as "chopped" off.

Yo Squirrel, I checked out your ride....NICE. After lookin at yours and lookin at Iceboxes I dont think you should do it. GForce is right, it looks chopped off. I think if you did it it would look really chopped off especially with your dark wheels. It might look different/better with silver/chrome wheels.

No thanks...I personally think they put those things there for a reason, so for now they stay on.

Oh yea, and I also think it looks whack as heck.

1sikxb, ya know, I just went out to get the paper, I think I'll keep the tape. Since my windows are tinted, and the wheels are gunmetal, I'm w/ you, I don't think it'll look right. Maybe if the windows weren't tinted, and I had silver or chrome wheels, I would.

komplex, I just have really short hair, being a Reserve Drill SGT and all.

Just a question... you can obviously tell it's tape .. and tape should come off. Now why won't the dealership take it off. The answer I got was that it comes from the factory like that. Any real answer would be apreciated . Thanks
