  2. No, remove them so you can see the indent

    Hi Guys,

    I saw a VY SS yesterday that did not have the door protector strips on it. I noticed that along the doors there was the indent that runs along the door (like on the VZ SS). I looked at my car and noticed that the indent is on my car too (well i think it is)... i didn't notice this before though. So i'm wondering if the door strips can be removed, and what you think looks better? See pics below to see what i'm talking about. Thanks.

    My car with door strips:

    A VZ without the door strips (but with indent):

    i reckon they look alright if they are colour coded.

    pain in the b-hole to get off, but the lines do look cleaner without them

    That's not my car, that's a how to guide that Weekend Warrior posted on how to do it, I was going to do mine but decided against it, I'm just going to have mine colour coded.

    Its not worth the trouble getting them off if their colour coded.
    The car looks good like it is, Maybe if one had fallen off then remove the rest but i'd say leave them on.

    ^^^Agree, not worth the effort imo. They look good the way they are.
