shaved mouldings - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

hey, I was wondering if you can buy a shaved replacement moulding that runs along the middle of the doors for 96-00' civic coupes that is kinda more thinner? I haven't really noticed if there is a product like that or not.

Thanks

just shave them completly, the car looks alot better when its plain on the sides

How much does it cost to shave them completely? I mean, it does look good, but I would think that would cost a lot to fill in and then paint over everything. So how much does it actually cost?

anywhere from 200-500 down here maybe even cheaper but you get what you pay for

God damn. THat car is hella nice. Im not a fan of body kits and such, but that car looks clean as hell.

that civic is nice

me too....not a big fan with body kits, but it looks nice.

i have seen crappy shave molding jobs and the side of the car isn't smooth.
you can see ripples.
BUT this is NICE

the body shop that silver civic went to did a great job.

however...i think it would look better if the body kit was molded to the car as well.

(no reverse lights?)

he was planning on doing some changes so he didnt mold the kit... the car was actually stolen at a show in jersey... they found it totally stripped.. so hes gonna spend the insurance $$ on some crazy shit..

natcc99 · 02-05-2003, 09:29 PM

really?!?!
OOOOH NO....I'm sorry to hear your friend's car got stolen.

i did a photoshop of your friend's car.
i molded body kit to the car.
i also added a little blur to the picture to make it apear a little faster.

what do you think?

i like shaved moldings!
i just don't like other people opening the doors and putting dents in the door.

i notice that on the new preludes....the come from the factor something smooth, but after a year or two of driving and parking in public lots....these beautiful smooth sides get bang up.

hey!!!!

those are pretty cool, but I don't think the make a big enough difference.
when they're on the car, it still doesn't smooth out the side of the car enough.
basically...it still looks like you have door moldings.

but..they're pretty cool
i had no idea there was such a product.

That really sucks that Civic got stolen. It's beautiful. You would think with shaved door handles your car is nearly theft proof but you never know. But yea shaving everything always brings out the body kit more. Everyone tries to touch your ride and feel how smooth it is. But hey those thinner modlings, I've never seen those. They look awesome; I would get those if you wanna go the cheap route.

The shaved mouldings might be something a little unique and subtle, and probably be somewhat cheaper, but i sure would like to see a few pics to complement...
Thanks for all the input.
