I was wondering if anyone has removed their body molding and if there are holes behind it. If not it seems like an easy mod. It would be painted underneath correct?
|
I don't know if there are holes behind it, but yeah, it is painted behind it. I had the displeasure of finding out when one of mine ripped off partially.
|
mine was starting to peel back a little in the front corner and i decided that it would look good without it altogether. I just didnt know whether I would need to fill the body panel for holes or anything like that.
|
no holes, just nasty sticky stuff
|
does anyone know where i could find pictures of this? i,personally think that it would look cleaner but am looking for other opinions as well. let me know what you guys think.
|
Skiboarder has his taken off. You will have to use elbow grease and goo gone to get the sticky crap off. I might do this to my car as well.
|
here is a pic

Thanks Naich, great pic, I knew you'd be the guy to make it happen ha. Thats definitely a project for this weekend assuming I can get into my parents garage.
|
Yep no holes Ihave taken mine off and it really easy once you get it started but use a heat gun and take your time and you wont have alot of glue left on the car.
|
yeah a heat gun works awesome and you'll have it done in like 15 - 20 min.
|
you could use a hair dryer too probably...
|
yea haha just dont do it in cold weather eh scott, lol (vinyl incident, lol)
|
that pics sucks. i have a bunch on http://www.cardomain.com/id/sound_xtreme/
I did this "mod" a long time ago |
Hey the link doesn't work. Anyone done it to a lighter colered car like red or something. Its kind of hard to tell on black as everythng seems to blendin anyway
Edit: WOOHOO it hit 200. I'm starting to get up there |
Take the last / off the end and it works
|
aleromaster, i did this on my red two door. it looks much better. doesn't really do anything in the first place...
|
I'm thinking of doing it myself but the only thing I worry about is mine actually has gowgaes(spelling?) in it meaning that it has been hit many times but other peoples doors(which is what it was intended for). Only worried that once I remove it some a hole will slam his door into mine.
|
wait for the summer...hot and sunny day will be perfect. It'll take you only 15-20 minutes to get all the residual sticky crap off then. If you do it in the cold, your fingers will get numb and be sore all day, and it'll take you about an hour.
As for worrying about a-holes slamming their door into yours, just park on the far end of the parking lot. You'll get a little extra exercise walking to the store. ;) |

B: Same here! :lol: |
