Default * HOW DO YOU INSTALL JDM THIN SIDE MOLDINGS ON A EK *

exactly how the title states.is there a link or picture thread that details this.reason why i ask is because people say you can damage the paint on the car if not done correctly.

for clips, you have to open up your panels and pop it out by squeezing the clips with your fingers or something. some might have double sided tape on them so watch out

If you're looking to remove the old ones.. then you remove the door panel and push the clips out... if you're looking to install, one would assume to just push the clips in?

Unless your EK doesn't have side molding holes.... if that's the case, you can always put some tape over the spots you're going to drill holes into to somewhat protect the paint.

Oh, not without prying I bet. Nothing worse than messing up the paint than to put a little more time and hassle into taking the door panels off

Just got done doing the back ones on my EK. The two rear clips are easy enough to push out if you have your interior panels removed. The third one that is toward the front of the car on the rear trim piece is harder... or so it seams. Just push the molding forward after you release the other two clips. The molding will pop off and you can remove the clip from the exterior of the body.

Haven't done the clips on the door yet but they should be pretty easy.

if you dont care to break the clips on your factory moldings, then just pull em off, i have done that before and it didnt hurt anything.

oh yeah, almost forgot, dont just yank them out of the fenders. you can bend your fenders. (thin metal)

the doors and the rear quarter are ok to just pull them out
