hey guys I'm curious how much people have paid to have their side moldings shaved. I'm going to have my car re-sprayed in the next month or so but I'm not sure if I want to bother removing them if its going to be really expensive. I would go get a quote myself but I can't drive my car b/c im in the process of doing a jdm front. thanks for any help.

 

all they do is fill in the holes that the moldings were in and put bondo in it and paint it shouldn't be that expensive

 

the price of gas to drive to kragen + $7. easy to do yourself

 

yeah I think it would cost more than you think even though theres not too much involved. I might do it myself but I'm sooo tired of DIY's after this winter.

Anyone know a price?

 

100$ a side...

last time i checked back in the day (like 2 years ago)

so i just went and bought type r doors

 

damn thats cheap. thanks

 

I thought the side moldings when taken off and not shaved would look like an eg does; but now I see theres just holes and nothing else. anyone else want to share what they payed?

 

i was told 200 by some buddy shop cant remember

 

how does not having a car prevent you from picking up a telephone and calling bodyshops for a quote?

I don't want a rough estimate b/c I don't know how many holes there are and the size of them. I also don't want to be surprised when they give me a low quote of 100 bucks and it ends up to be much more. alrite?

 

thanks rsvtec

So do you mind sharing what RsVtec said, because I'm looking at doing it too.

 

dude i got a quote for $330 for both quarter panel " welded,body filler, then painted" wit the same color... $330 are only for my quarter panels so do the math.. but i would say get a type r door that way u will only have to deal the both quarter panel..thats what i did type r doors are only one $100.00 but u will have to swap ur original wiring to ur type r doors... by the way heres a website wher u can those type r door for only $100.00 http://www.n1concepts.com good luck!

 

oh yeah make sure go to forum.. thats wher u can ur type r doors

 

hey thanks man. I'll look into this because I decided I didn't want to go through the hastle of welding those holes /or paying someone for it and having it come out poorly.

 

i got my doors, quarters, rear window sprayer and trunk holes all for free, i just have to pay for the cost of paint, oh and it helps to have a dad that does body work for a living

i personally wouldnt have done it if i didnt get it done for free
good luck though

 

got my doors and the quarter panel and trunk holes welded for $100 ..and just bought the filler and primer..DIY ftw

 

damn where all these places at?!

remove all moldings
weld up the holes and grind them smooth
and primer it over

quoted about 500 bucks!
