Hello Everyone, My name is Rich Caliendo and I have been a member of the list for several years. I don't think that I have ever posted anything before so I thought that I should introduce myself. I've wanted a DeLorean as long as I can remember and finally at the age of 26 that dream is about to become a reality. My question for the list is this: Is the optional wide strip on the sides of the car removable? The vehicle I'm looking at has it and I 'm not sure how I feel about it. It's not that I dislike it, but I do like the look of the DeLorean without it. I'm 99% sure I'm going to buy the car either way but I just want to know If I have the option to remove it. I can be contacted directly @ RACaliendo@xxxx Thanks everyone. Rich Caliendo
