I like them, it brakes off the big wheelopenings a little bit. Or maybe I'm just old fashioned. :scratchchin:

If you're pulling off all the rest of the chrome trim on your car off I'd keep the wheel well trim off too.

Don't know if I'd "pitch" it though. If you do, pitch it my way! I can't fine a good set of wheel well trim for my '71 SE for less than $325 and at that price I've decided to "keep" it off my car!

Agree with some of the other posters. Even if you keep the trim off your car for now, keep it so you can always put it back on later if the fancy arises to try something different.  :Twocents:

i mean, looking at my signature picture, it does look kinda sparse w/o the wheel well trim...but i think i'd have to see the two options in person to really decide

I took mine off and it looks 100x's better to me. I hate chrome looking things anyway. But it really depends on your look.I'm going for a smoothed out less is more thing. What is your final vision? Then go with that.Like others said.Take it off but keep them near.Me...Mine are off and I'm gonna sell them.

Class? Buy a Rolls if you want class. Chargers are for blue collared trouble makers. Its the bad boys car...didnt everybody know that?

Take off my bumper guards!?!? Hell no! Those are fangs baby! Fangs for sinking into sissy e-bodies with pretty paintjobs and stickers...and fangless Chargers.

i gotta say, i like it better without as it stands right now...and not for the sake of murdering anyone, just because i think it looks cleaner...

Im with the "keep em" crowd. I have always liked wheel opening and rocker moldings on Mopars.
