I used to them now so to me they dont look that bad...... but to other people they look crap. I would take them off but knowing my luck there will be marks under them or i will pull the paint off when taking them off.

Beautiful car fella, tastefully modified with nice clean subtle mods.

Looks very purposeful yet classy. Id be inclined to say that PFF7s have been beaten to death to the point where they no longer look special, but on this car they look fantastic.

Great job

I like the door strips... (does that mean I'm crackers? ) - besides, it should stop some car parking dents

lovely looking RB5 fella

Simply fantastic.

I was under the impression the PFF7's were 8J and therefore too big for the classic cars? Obviously not.

Nothing wrong with the door strips and I would leave them on.

oooohhhhhhhhh those brakes.
