As soon as spring hits my car is heading to a buddies shop for a complete paint job. I wanted to bring some ideas to him but was hoping somebody have previous experience/pictures.

I want to:

1)Shave the "PONTIAC" on the rear bumper if possible.
-Pictures anyone? Or is it even worth doing?

2)Remove the strips going down the door that "protect it", which won't protect against anything because my car sits too low anyway.
-Will this make the car look smoother or more awkward?

3)Remove Trans Am Emblems on door.
This ones easy enough, I just don't want them on there.

 

you can remove the side moldings and and the trans am lettering w/o getting body work done... id say probably half the people with trans ams on here removed their side moldings long ago

 

I'm getting a complete paint job done, so I am just picking out what I want to do before i take my car there and we can get right to the point. So with the side moldings off it doesn't look "off"? As far as the shaved lettering on the back, have you seen anything like this?

 

I shaved the "camaro" on my camaro and the keylock along with the whole rest of the car. It's actually one of the few things that I have never had a problem with. Can be done nicely.
