right im thinking about shaving the side panel things off but im not sure has anyone done this before? if so post em up cheers,

also despoiler it? or keep the spoiler?
cheers guys

 

shave the moldings and go wingless?
it's been done, check out the ek thread for quick reference shouldn't take long for you to find a ek like your thinking of doing yours...

 

ive never seen it done before. be the first!!! all you need is bondo!!!

 

LMAO....Bondo makes dreams a reality....

To the OP...go wingless but dont remove the side mouldings

 

maybe remove the moldings,but leave the area deep like many eg's have.

 

bondo makes a nightmare if you use it wrong!!! your suppose to weld on strips of sheet metal. tack it on lightly let time to cool down if you dont you'll warp the doors. then apply bondo or light weight filler. if you did the weld right your bondo should be no thicker then 1/8 of and inch any thicker it'll crack over time.. rember bondo is made to smoth things out not create a new car. think of it as thick paint. fill in those holes on your wing with spot welds then grind to a smooth use light weight filller glaze to a perfect flat sanded suface..

 

no spoiler keep your moldings or do them like the cx hatches and have the groove there but no actual molding.

 

guy near me has the moldings shaved and i think it looks like ***.. just my .02 though. lose the wing, keep the moldings

 

Like stated above. Go wingless and keep the moldings. I would personally go with black moldings though. For some reason I have never been a fan of paint matched moldings.

 

keep the moldings!

 

Moldings yes. Wing no. GL

 

Fill it full of Bondo? Gods no! If anything do like suggested and weld in strips of metal... If a welder isn't accessable (this is NOT the right way to do this) then ATLEAST grind the area really good with some 40 grit and go to a good body supply store and get some kitty hair, spread that in there, shape it, then get some Featherlite Chromelite and put that on there... Bondo brand bondo holds a lot of moisture... Stay away from that junk...

 

a welder isnt a problem id get it done at my local bodyshop as there the whos who did my front bumper and they charge a fair price like. just wanted to see if anyone had pics of it done cos i dont wanna spend all that money for it too look **** lol.

im really debaiting taking the wing off might take it off today see what it looks like then if it looks crap put it back one but yes as far as the moldings i dont like them silver either but it came like that but i ripped my front splitter off the other day so im gunna respray that black so may do the moldings and skirts to match. possibly picking up a black bonnet too this weekend so we will see how it goes...

 

also anyone got pics of there EJ6 in silver with a black bonnet?

 

i mean summit like this

 

I've seen side moldings shaved before and I didn't really like it.

But it's really personal preference. So if you think it'll look good, go for it.

 

 

If you do the moldings black that looks pretty good... I've seen that done before... My vote is either black moldings or just no moldings... Bein that I've worked on trucks for years and being shave crazy I don't like the looks of em with the body line shaved like that... It looks to plain...

 

here some

 

they looks sick!
ive gotta do it now lol.
bodyshop here i come friday

 

good luck with your project brother... hope u are atleast welding the light gauge sheet metal.

 

You should just pull the moldings and fill the holes. leave the indentation of the moldings there. i like the way it looks.

 

Above is how I did my hatch three years ago....









But as someone has said before, get the job done right, welding is the only way to go mate.

the sliver coupe with the shaved moldings somehow reminds me of a bb8 prelude.

 

so ugly imo
