hey...I have a Teal green 94 Honda civic Si and my door handles/mirrors are painted the same color as the car, but the door moldings aren't and they are the stock greyish/black color.

If I were to take off the moldings...would I see holes that the moldings clip into or are they put on with double sided tape????

 

holes.

 

yup really nasty holes for the clips...dont do it

Yeah there is clips that hold them in, I took the inside of the door apart and and squeezed the clips with pliers and kinda just poped them out. And for the piece in front Im pretty sure I broke them and went to honda and bought new ones. The piece to the rear of the door if I remember correctly I think I got to it by taking the plastic covering there from the inside off. I think I cant remeber for sure. HTH

 

ko, thanks guys

 

can you fill the wholes with bondo or do they need to be welded shut

 

Welding is preferred, bondo is a last resort.

weld the holes or use kitty hair (fiberglass), then smooth it over with bondo. if you weld you'll have a pretty good chance of warping the the whole fenders, doors, and quarters, which is a major bitch to fix, so kitty hair is a lot easier.
