I'm considering shaving my side moldings before I get my paint job... I wanna see some close-up pics of what it'd look like, and how hard the process is first though. Please post your pics here if you've done it.

Hmm.. Not bad. Wasn't too hard to do? And how the hell do you open/lock/unlock your door...??

 

you can get "door poppers" for that the only down sides are that if your battery goes dead you cant get into your car and in most applications theres an external popping switch (makes easy to get in/out of car w/o remote)

 

:not my car :





just in case you wondering.. that is teh bomex kit

 

how do u shave the side moldings??i want to do it....what does it usually cost?

 

i did mine myself with my uncle (he's a bodyman) 1st you have to weld up the holes then you can use bondo to smooth it all out and keep the body lines etc. then paint it. I think to have a shop do it though it costs around $100-$200 per door

and yes i have door poppers to get in and out and i also have a switch hidden in case the door remotes go dead and on top of that i have hood pins and no hood lock so i can get to the battery if need be

 

What about for the side moldings though not the door handles? All you need to fill the holes is Bondo, right?

 

damn i wanted to do my doors at one point but when i heard about that external switch i changed my mind

 

no you can't just fill them in with bondo they have to be welded up or the bondo will just crack
