Dino door/side panel rubber strips

No. In more than 20 years of owning and studying the Dino, I have never seen one with these side strips. IMO I think they look terrible, and should be removed. The strips are covering a suble crease along the body that Pininfarina included in the design, which I believe adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the car. We're not dealing with a Taurus here!

 

i have seen them on a couple of cars that have come up for sael. i have also seen them on 308's, where there is a grove that they insert into. i believe these are added sometime long after the cars were made.

 

even more interesting is this car is listed as being sold at $160k

 

Agree that these look horrible and are a travesty. Whoever paid $160K must have a magic way of removing these w/o hurting the paint- hard to believe he'd leave them on.

 

If these strips are NOS, then so are Pamela Anderson's body parts.

 

Never seen them, wouldn't dream of putting them on the car, EVER!!

What the hell was that guy thinking?

Oh, and a picture, so again, in three years when someone searches and finds this, they'll know what we're talking about.

i don't think for a moment that these were nos

 

for those who think that this type of crap wasn't considered to be prestigious, why don't we look at an old ad in an owners magazine:
