Has anyone ever seen a 2GS without the Chrome moldings on the bumpers and window seals? If so can you guys post some images?

unless car is fixed up... its gonna look very plain and bare. IMO, the trims distinguish the GS esPECIALLY the trim around the windows, you remove that... its not a GS anymore; its like removing the inner tail lights on the Lexus's, it is/was a trade mark of the generation
