Eww. I'd have kept the indention.

 

i agree its shaving. Personally i wouldnt do it to my car

 

The 92-95 VX and CX doesn't come wif the side moldings. I think it actuallly look fine like that. It's when people shave the side moldings off and cover up the crease (spell?). Some people even shave it off of their EK's. I say as long as they leave the crease when hey take off the moldings, then it's fine.

Agreed.

 

i bet that's pretty expensive to do yes? i could think of 500 better ways to spend that money

 

if you dont have the CX and you take them off there will be a dozen or so holes from the mounting clipse, just a reminder

 

i agree w/ feriokid...i wouldn't shave it b/c i've seen even the best weld/bondo job crack after some time...i'd go w/ the jdm thin side moldings and call it a day...

 

yeah i saw like 2 cars with shaved moulding and they dont look too fly on an ek. i say THIN SIDE MOULDINGS!

 

anybody know where i can get the jdm ones?? do they make replicas?? and are they take out put in? or is there work to be done?

 

I have a 92 DX and I do have them, but I haven't taken them off.

This is something I'd like to know as well. I've got an EK and my side moldings have chipped paint from car door hits. I don't think shaving looks all that bad, but for the time and money, JDM thin moldings are a much better solution IMO.

 

it sucks, but you know what they say about opinions

 

Here is one site, i know of another with cheaper price. Ill try and find it but heres another one

I had a white EK (similar to the one above) and I had all the moldings shaved off. I got a big fat door ding right above that line 2 weeks later and it made the whole side look like pooh.

 

it looks too plain without. The side molding, shaved off wouldnt look bad, but i think it looks better with.
