Default Shaved

Getting rid of the emblems was definitely the way to go. Quite pleased with the outcome.

well I'm not going to comment on that Rex pic, cuz I'm sure you did what you did because you like it.

But molded seams are just because the plastic bumpers flex differently than the metal body panels. Soon the bondo'd seams will crack and look even worse than if you had left them like stock.

Now that Integra looks tiiite

i think he fibrglassed it to the metal body, then bondo it, which is alot better and stronger then just bondo...if it cracks you can always repair it
i dont like that mold everything on idea either, but everything on my car is molded on..

Very nice. I did the same thing on my black '91 civic. It's more clean like that I think.

Yeah but what happens when you have to take the front bumper off? I'm always having to take mine off for one reason or another. Sure would suck to have molded body panels in those cases.

This is the thing there is no bondo in the car and the kit is fiberglass and all seams are done with carbon fiber and epoxy resin.
