Side trim question

My understanding that most did, but the Carrera's did not.

I chose to build without. Chrome trim doesn't stand out that well on a silver car & I just figured it would be something to pick wax out of.

Also, much easier to add than delete.

My car is 7 years old and haven't once considered adding the trim. Your mileage may vary.....

^ That, right there. I have it, I wish I didn't. Too late now....

Stan, just curious why?

"something to pick wax out of"

Agreed. 

I requested no side trim on my build; but, it's all personal preference.

It's not a big regret, but the look I ended up with is outlaw-lite. I think no upper side trim would have fit the bill a bit better. As Tom B. said, it can always be added- but once it's on, it's not coming off.

I also went without but as you can see it does look good on some colors.  I actually like it on silver.  

 

And this blue.

Yea... I still dig mine. 

How can you not like the chrome when it looks like this with overriders and gray  

I think this post identifies the inherent issue with the Speedster; it looks great with or without the chrome bits. 

It's almost as if one needs at least two Speedsters:

1. Outlaw style, no bumpers, no chrome, no wheel covers for those days when you feel bad#ss and want to carve the canyons solo,

2. Chromed out, bumper guards, overriders, luggage rack, baby moons; for cruising the town with the mrs. or the kid. 

 

I'd love to have at least two, plus a Spyder!

What is there not to like about any 356 colour or options... the range is pretty broad IMO

You also need a coupe in both styles

IMHO if you don't have the rocker trim you should not have the upper (spear) trim.  They seem to want to go together and if you only have one, it looks somehow lacking.

 Gordon  I never thought about that but you're right

I guess the most outlaws have not the bottom or the top bars

Some speedsters have the side trim, some don't.

Did the originals come both ways  also?

Jim - the beauty of the 'Madness' with these repli-cars is that EVERYTHING you do to your own car is a matter of preference. This is also why Baskin Robins has 31 flavors. 

Some of the better-done Outlaws I've seen have the rocker panels rolled under so they become about 1/2 height.  Sometimes it is subtle and you have to look twice to notice them, but they look pretty cool.  That's what contributes to making a "wow" car. 

Mine is an outlaw with trim strips.  Although I'm having a hard time keeping them on the car....keep falling off.
