i want to shave the back of my gsr. how much does this usually cost if you take it to a shop or can i do it myself?
thanks

 

ANYONE KNOW????? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

 

what are you talking about? the side moldings or the emblems? there are no moldings on the back of your car

 

i want to get rid of all the emblems and cover up the holes.

 

You any good with bondo and sandpaper??

 

welding and smoothing> plugging holes w/ bondo

 

One thing you want to watch out for is, if you have powerful subs in the car, you need to put something behind the pinholes before you fill them in with bodyfiller. I've seen guys blow out the bondo in the pin holes with powerful subs. Sheetmetal and bodypanel adhesive are a good choice. Dont use tape, it wont hold up over the long haul, plus, its just ghetto

 

haha im not very good with molding. how much do you think the shops charge?

 

i got quoted like 150 each side for shaving my quarter panel moldings( already has the ITR doors). you'll prob be lookin at like 2-300+

 

he wants his emblems shaved, not his moldings

 

i was jus throwing that up there for comparison on how much it takes to shave+ repaint a body panel

 

thanks for all the input guys

 

bump for an answer to the real question

 

this is bodyshop-tech, different price every state, shop. call them and ask.

you can save money doing bond work. so just let them paint.
