Searched but couldn't find much on the pros and cons of removing the sail vinyl. I prefer the look without the vinyl, what will I be up against by removing it? TIA

Google 914 Porsche and look at images. There are a lot of cars to look at and that will give you a good idea on how your car/color will look. I've had cars that didn't have it, and cars that do have it. It's a matter of taste and color.
IMHO, some cars don't look right with it deleted, but others look great. Leaving the lower trim on with no vinyl looks wrong to me. |

As for the holes, I'm welding them closed.  |
