I agree. I think removing the moldings gives the car a cheap look you see on some econoboxes. Now if I were to choose between 99-00 gaurds or no guards, I'd say prolly no gaurds. The 99-00 gaurds look like poop.
I'm debating wether or not to remove them from my 2000, but don't want to risk damaged paint.
They are staying on my 98 for sure though.
