I'm leaving mine on. I like the stock look of it.

leave it off, keep it clean

Depends what you are going for. I eliminated mine because I was going for a stock performance look, and all of the stock performance G's did not have it (GN, SS, 442). However, when I got my car it was on there and looked pretty good, as a suped up stock GP. You need to pick a theme and go from there. It is all a matter of taste and vision. The car will look fine either way.

I removed all trims from my Cutlass and i prefer this way 8)

Mayronus,

I didn't think there were any American cars in Poland. Are there any more G-body or other American cars cruising around? How hard is it finding parts?

I vote leave it all off except the "Oldsmobile" emblems. Wheel well trim lower stainless and while you are doing body work the emblem springy thing in the front header.
