Default 95 Si Shaved BAY

Well I dont know if I should weld all the holes up in the engine bay and get rid of ps and ac. I'm going for show and speed but I just dont want to regret it down the road! The car had surface rust when I bought it and had that taken car of rite away. Now my B18c is on its way. I just dont want to wreck the car if I ever do sell it by welding all the holes up. Remind you this car is in good shape for a 95 Si!!

Argh, a Seminole! CHOMP CHOMP.

Anyhow, I'd say no. Car is clean and stock, but if you want that look, go for it..but then it kills resale, since the shave is your thing. Closer to stock the more a car is worth, IMO.

I would bite off a pinky finger for a hatch in that condition.

Shaved bays are overrated IMO. It's a lot of work, it's up to you.

too much work for nothing. but if your going for show it looks super fresh. weld the holes grind them down and use seamsealer, it will look great. good luck with your build

don't shave it, tuck it and leave them exposed. looks nice that way imo, and you won't be doing anything permanently irreversible.

its a great look, IMO. I just tucked my wires in my del sol, but it is a bigger project than what it seems, and your car does look pretty mint, id honestly leave it alone
