I say go for it too. I like the smooth look. The gas filler behind the headlight reminds me of a 50s or 60s car. My first few cars had the filler behind the licence plate. Maybe that would be an option if the taillight wont work out.

Default Sounds like a go on the shaving !

Basically sounds like a go on the shaving... I agree with the majority, just gives it that clean cut look.. I've been messin with the idea of removing the door guards, but have some reservation because of the "Parking lot at Walmart"...lol. I'd have door dings in mere seconds.. Lol.. I may change the color of the car when I do shave the doors, love the Deep Candy color of Jeff Gordon's new paint scheme. Has any of you guys seen it up close? I have it it is an unreal color.mTony Stewart was running the "Old Spice" car last year with that color and I'm telling you, it's AWSOME !
