i could be wrong but i think the 98's had more shape to them alltogether. When we took mine off and compared them to my friends 2000 they were alot different in shape he actually kept mine to put on his car

just curious as to who came up with the word "knauberize?" can't we just say "remove?"

read the FAQ buddy!!
"Why is it called "Knauberize"?
It is named after the first CEGer to remove his door ding guards - Robert Knauber of the Capitol CEG."

The flat ones look like crap. The rounded ones look better.
My E1 has the rounded ones (and thats why they are still on), but maybe that is because it is the earliest of the E1s (98.5).

meh. The painted ones look better and if my car came with them i probably would have left them alone...however the non painted "rubber" ones that came on my SVT were nasty and had to go.
I do think the lines of the car flow better with them taken off though.

IIRC, all Contiques come with painted ding strips. The car musta been in a shop and didn't get the strips sprayed.
