1G Shaving Ideas.

[TsiTalon90]

Well this summer my car is going to get painted, my question is Ive searched on tuners and talk to try to find this pick Its of a very clean 1G (red) and then he photo shoped the moldings above the side skirts, It looked really good. If anyone can find that pick or have any other Ideas feel fee.

Thanks Josh

The only ideas i would suggest would be to shave the Radio Antenna hatch thingy, and the rear wiper. Possibly even shaving the pop up headlights if that what you want, anything else might be kinda :thumbdown

Well I wish I could show you the car I'm talking about, because with the top moldings off and filled in to contour the car, it looks great. As for the headlights in the future I want to do a 300zx or RX-7 lights.

Are you talking about the side moldings? Hopefully I attached the pic right. By the way this isn't my car.

I am bringing this thread back to life.

I am at a loss as to what "top moldings" this guy is talking about. Anyone want to help me out here?

Thanks

talking about removing and filling in the peice of trim area or "dent" along the side of the car about half way up the door

I see now. However, what would you do about the lines from the rear and front bumber. I am sure the intention of the top molding was to keep the flowing line from front to rear, and you can see that line is lost in the orange 1G.

I would like to see what the rear looks like.

you could mold them although i dont recomend doing that. the line that goes along the middle of the door is about 3-4 inches high where the other lines are just small body lines that arent really as bad.

shave the doorhandles, that always looks good IMO. i like the way that orange 1g looks.

Shave everything... I shaved my handles, molded the side skirts and rear bumper, shaved the antenna...etc.. it's well worth it IMO anyway altho i guess it depends on what style your going with. I'm using the dragon z kit from andysautosports.com, with fenders a hood and a hatch it seems to fall into place nicely for me give it a go, good luck!

do you have pics of your car finished? i looked in your gallery and it was all different colors. j/k i would like to see it finished though. oh and a pointer, black out the taillights. now that would look tight.

molding bumpers to the car looks good for show cars, but over time on normal road use they will end up cracking. side skirts arent as bad though

 

[Boosted90GST]

true, but my car isn't a daily driver so im not too worried about it. no new pic's yet as soon as i get em i'll post them for u guy's
