How to remove molded fiberglass/body kit?
Im trying to put the car back to stock.
The rear bumper is molded to the car and the sideskirts too. Now it looks like the whole car is 1 piece from end to end.
Is there any easy way to remove the molded kit? Or do i have to sand them down till I can remove them?
Any info would help so I can get the car back to stock.
Thanks.

Cut-off wheel to cut the body filler apart where the body lines should be. Use a combination of grinding discs and sandpaper, etc. until you get all of the fiberglass and filler removed from the original body panels. Repaint the affected panels. It's very straightforward, just very time consuming and costly if you choose to have someone else do it.

How is it molded on there? If they did it correctly, take your time so you do not damage anything. If they just used body filler you should be able to take all your screw out, and pop it some to break the filler. Filler really does not hold up well with stress. If they did it correctly with something other than filler.......good luck lol.
I used 3M panel bond and I had to use a chisel to remove parts of it.
