    Here's a little PhotoShop action showing how much better these cars look without trim ...

    I always like the trim on the solid color cars. Either way, that is a nice car.

    I dunno. I'm undecided on to Trim or not to Trim. :hmmm:

    They both look fine to me.

    looks better without the trim.makes the body look less "cluttered".the trim looks good on the 4dr.cars.

    It should be so easy. I'm not a fan of that trim either.

    I think the trim makes the car look better.

    Guess that's why Ford sold them both ways ... to make everybody happy! Just wish they used adhesive back in those days and didn't have to put holes in perfectly good sheet metal! :)

    i hate the trim on my car, but i will say that on some people's mavericks it looks good.
    what a pain in the neck it is if you do decide to remove it though!
