what marc said was right, as you can see the results in his signature. look at this thread and you can get a good idea of what a white car looks like when you paint the door moldings.

IMHO, on my car, i think this looks 1000 times better when you paint the bumpers along with it. this is alot of work, and just pulling your door moldings would take you 1/2 to an hour to pull off and clean off the adheasive... my project actually took me about 3 hours to give a good coat on the door moldings alone (with drying time of course), but the result is better as far as i'm concerned. and if you do it, you'd probably be the 2nd one to do it
. definately a unique mod.
peace
ps correction, Bizob did this on his car, but as you know, everything about his car is crazy as far as the exterior is concerned. he's got the best lookin first gen as far as i'm concerned, just could use some insanely large rims on his car

I would have to agree with demon about painting the black on the bumpers also. That is something I still want to do because it looks incomplete without it done. Also it really is a bitch to get all the sticky **** off the car. I think either way you go it will still look bitchin! And either way I would still paint the black on the bumpers the same color as the car, thats my next project.

jus a little warning.. getting the glue off its really freasking annoying an time consuming.. i had the mouldings off on my car because it was missing two to begin with.. this was before the tree incident .. it took me a good 2 days to get it all off.. i got so fed up with it i ended up sanding it off with really fine grit paper.. then primed an painted over it... then again i have no patience for taking stuff liek that off.. so i did it the hard way..but yeah.. gettin the glue off is difenately annoying
