Default Shaving Side Moldings

How hard is this to do? If i take off the moldings, will there be holes from where it was attached at? Or is it just -- i dunno-- double sided taped on??

i took mine off to re-paint them (milano red fades easily) and there are holes. they're also really heavy, i'm sure you'd save like 20 pounds shaving them.

What's up.

You'll have holes that's it. Shaving the side moldings on a teg is super easy. Fiberglass and bondo and boom you are done. My friend can shave'em in like 45 mins. It's pretty easy. If I ever buy a teg the first thing I'm doing is a JDM ITR front end and shaving the antenna/wing/side moldings. Soooooo easy!


Anyways go to home depot pick up some fiberglass mat/cloth/resin and some bondo and you are in busines..

sand down to the metal. I usually make a dent where holes are, and fiberglass it to make it strong. Sand a little, lay on the bondo. Sand till it's perfect, and go up in grit till it's smooth, and then paint.

Easy as pie.
