shaving the moldings. unless done right (actually welding new pieces in place) it would look like crap. plus the mk3 body lines are jsut a little weird to shave them all. dont get me wrong i have seen some clean ones.

im getting my car back 2morrow so its a little late anyways.

interesting... well what about getting the body shop to throw in some filler, or bondo, or whatever is neccesary. My moldings are crap, and i dont want to have to find some in good shape. I was under the impression that it was an easy job... guess i was wrong.

i say to put a bracket behind that lip so it doesn't sag(unless my eyes just decieve me) and mold that rear bumper into the...uhh..whatever that aftermarket thing is called. but yeah man, that looks nasty!

What does this Inferno Red look like? I hope it doesn't clash too bad with the Red in your wheels. That match looks really good! Did you paint those, or did they come like that? Yes, I'm wheel iliterate.

just went to the mall told them to make me a 20" diameter circle and have them cut it in 4 parts. for the thickness i jjust put my 2 fingers a certain distance away and the guy got out his tape measure and measured the like 1/4" distance between my fingers. haha

Paint is a really nice color. Now get rid of the skinny sunken in wheels and youll have a really nice exterior! :icon_razz. Congrats
