Does anyone know how to take the side moldings off?? I removed my pin stripes today and I was wanting to take my side moldings off tomorrow while I am at work (yes, getting paid for it! )





Any ideas??

 

1) take them off
2) fill opening with bondo
3) paint

 

so there are holes underneath there??? its isnt on there with double sided tape or glue or something?

 

if i remember correct its just a adhesive holding it on.

 

anyone know the answer for sure?

 

bump

 

whoa...what models came with moldings?

 

Mine is a 93 Si...

 

neither my 93 vtec nor my 96 si had moldings like this

but every other honda w/moldings has had holes when you take them out....i cant say for sure on the prelude though....

Maybe yours are painted? I also have a 93 Si and have those moldings. You should paint them. That's what I plan to do with mine.

 

I have heard that these side molding are a really rare OEM factory option that not many people did.

 

there are no moldings on my car dude.....im intelligent enough to know whether there is a strip of plastic down the side of my car, there is not

hahahahaha. awesome.
yea mine has no molding

molding=civc=looks cheap

 

Mine has no molding nor every other lude i have seen around. Nver had seen that ugly s**t in a lude , take em off and fill the holes

 

haha, im still wanting to know if there are holes behind there or not...i dont wnat to pull them off if there are holes...as i am not ready to paint my car yet...soon but not soon enough to leave holes that will rust!

 

my 95 s doesn't have moldings. but my 92 integra ls did. there were holes behind it.

 

Well, I am waiting to see if anyone else has had these on there prelude. Then I will try and remove them.

 

i dont want holes that will rust, until i can paint it and seal off the holes i wont be able to take them off... . Unless someone on here will know the answer...

 

yeah ive only actually seen one prelude in person with the door bumpers. i think theyre ugly. theres probably holes behind it. for your sake i hope theres not.

 

i found a used fender from a junk yard and it had that molding on it...i ripped it off and it didnt hav any holes just sticky residue....if that helps any.

 

My 93 also has the molding and i am almost 100% sure that there are no holes behind them being that it was an option. They would not have wanted to make two diferent doors, fenders, and quarters just for the people that are lucky enough to have this awesome option.

Alright, jeez sorry man. I misread the post I quoted. You don't have to get pissy.

 

Well I will try and take them off at work today and let every know how it goes!

 

take the damn things off...

if there's clips with holes you can push them back in and forget about them until you paint/body work the car. if its double sided tape then youre in business.

 

never knew any prelude had moldings, news to me.....i had a 92 si and now 93 vtec both had no moldings
