I have a NBM but I only removed the A-Pillar tape. IMO the window frames look better with it. ____ty photo... dusk... flash reflections.

Its the black around the pillars and door frames, its a design cue to make the car appear to have a stronger horizontal lines by making the windows seem like all one piece. Some people are removing this 'tape' (matte vinyl I believe), to be different, but it does tend to break the lines of the car up a bit imo. Though, I dig what ScionFred did there, with just the first pillar, hell, I never even noticed on mine that there was tape on that pillar til I saw his example unpeeled.

have seen pics of all the colors with the door tape peeled. i suggest keeping the tape on. looks much better IMO. looks clean with the a-pillars peeled, but that's as far as i'd go.
