Default Vinyl Tape Removal

I removed my a-pillar tape today...no problem. Has anyone tried removing the tape on the doors?

By the A-pillars...do you guys mean the tape that frames the side windows? I have a NBM and my hubby is trying to convince me that the tape is cheesy and should come off. Since I have a dark color I think it would be OK... I just don't like the photos I've seen of the white xB's with the tape off.

What tape are you referring to on the doors??

A-pillars are the big metal pillars that connect the roof to the body on each side of the front windshield. Dark colors (BSP, NBM, BCM) look great with the A-pillar tape removed. I also think they look good with the window frame tape removed, but this is a very personal thing and you will get people that argue it both ways.

OK, I think I get it now. I never noticed tape there...I was only thinking it was around the window frames on the sides of the vehicle. I'll have to take a closer look now...

Thanks, that was driving me nuts!
