Hey well im also thinking about doing a nice shave job to my car before i repaint it, im doing all my own body work so i have complete control of what i should get shaved,, i was thinking about shaving the front off, and the back once too, and the acura nameplate, and then what about the actual key hole, should i shave that down too? or how bout the front nubs for the license plate, i dont put one on the front anyways....

 

I prefer shaved.....

EDIT: Just realized what your talkin about..Ya I had my car shaved too.
Front, back emblem, acura emblem, and the trunk key taken out, hole welded shut. Inside of the trunk that just put a piece of metal with caulk(sp?) to cover the hole.

i like the clean look, but if you shave too much off then it looks like its missing something. Like i would say leave the emblem on teh back at least. I would take the acura nameplate off too tho. As for hte trunk key hole, i like being able to open my trunk from the rear without having to mess wit my car door locks. ya kno? but the lock system is a little bit different between the older n newer g3 tegs tho.

 

Ya, my 98 has an alarm..so I need to disarm it anyway to open..Then i reach under the trunk and open...No thinigie by the seat in mine.

 

keep the acura badges on there, shave the door moldings and locks...that's what I did! looks clean!!!! I got pics if u wanna see

 

i shaved the acura badges....i like it alot. nice and clean

 

cars are just like wemon...shaved is nice...

 

shaved is cleaner...

 

I want to see.

How much was it to shave your moldings?

 

i want to shave my holes from my spoiler... then get it painted

 

It's a civic, but you get the idea. Shaved is always great!

 

whats your email? I'll send you a pic of how it looks... for door locks and door moldings, it cost $350 to get em shaved off and repainted

 

shaved is great for door handles if your a show car enthusiast, but good luck with them at the track, no no racing for you.

 

:werd: I wouldn't shave the handles, but other stuff is cool. Nothing like a freshly shaven....emblem

 

shaving off the emblems is cool, but i wouldn't shave off all the handles, locks, etc...

 

my sold shaved ****

 

agreed.

 

don't shave! keep it hairy!
