I have a integra with a jdm front and plan on getting it painted spring break

Just trying to see if the car would look better with or without side moldings

Its going to get repainted bg33-p (Paradise Blue Green Pearl)

Only seen one other guy with a green jdm front on team-integra

So with or without?

 

Are you going to shave them like fill in the indented part so it's flush? I vote for removed.

 

Heres my old teg without them

 

If i do it i plan on having it flushed

Looks good, but my car is more of a greenish color lol

Haven't any bg33-p jdm front tegs always a different green

 

I shaved my moldings.... it wasnt worth all the work. I did it myself though. I would never do that again


excuse the dent in front of rear wheel.

 

With a JDM front it looks better without the side moldings. Just don't park close to people.

 

if you keepem they flow better with the usdm front end
the car with the jdm front end flows better with out them filled in or not

my opinion but its what ever you like thats why we each build our own

 

why do you say this?(walmart shoppers?)

idk which would look better thought, because the green ones i have seen keep the side moldings, but all other ones delete them,

If i do delete the side molding its going to probably be a diy project, unless i can get a shop around here to do it while they do the bodywork on it

 

Shave those moldings!

Just have your shop weld the holes shut before they paint. Car will look so much cleaner.

 

Hopefully whatever shop i end up going to will do it for a pretty small fee

 

Keep them, or be prepared for the "dings". 94

 

In for more pics of shaved side moldings. Just park away from all the other cars when you go somewhere.

 

i vote keep

 

i really don't want any "love" taps on my car, so i probably might keep them thanks everybody

 

If you decide to remove them, please make sure the body shop working on the car does a good job and does it the right way. They need to be welded shut and smoothed. This will prevent rust and waviness.

No moldings look better, but to do a good job, it's a bit pricey.

 

Shave them, and that color looks great on JDM fronts.

IMO shave them. That color is nice with jdm front integra.

 

Why do i say that? Door dings

 

This car is pretty much what im going for, but with polished rnrs

with side moldings, im guessing that it just wouldn't show as much?

 

Looks like you can still see every hole you shaved.

 

i would shave them.. looks a lot cleaner

 

Thats a pretty sick color!!! i vote keep them because im glad i did after I painted my car.

 

They're less likely to happen because the molding absorbs the hits from other people's doors.

 

Here is mine. Not a JDM front, but your color.
Looks way better without the moldings.

 

It looks good, but i thinking about keeping them, not really worth the trouble
