Your tucked bumper looks great. Did you re-shape the bumper at all or is that the stock angle?

Thanks-

Does anyone know how many holes there are to weld closed on the lower trim pieces if you are doing a lower trim delete?

I have to have some body work done and have my car painted so I am thinking about deleting everything but the upper trim.

My body guy is waffling on the price and is going to charge me $500 to delete those lower trim pieces and fill in the holes if there are a lot of holes to fill. If there are just a couple and the rest is a snap on then he will throw it in the price.

I am also deleting the front bumper and filling it all in, like Koblenz did, but I am on the fence about the rear.

Thanks for the input.

There are quite a few holes for the lower knee trim (if that's the trim you are referring to). I can see it taking time to weld closed... maybe 10 holes per side?

Cool, thank you.

I need to rethink what I am doing. What started out as a simple rust repair quickly turned into custom work with a full body re-spray and I just don't think this is the time or that car for that.

I just looked at your car on your original post... tough call. I'd definitely get your rust repaired before it speads any further, when you can of course. No way to accomplish that with the repaired areas getting painted, only? looks like the nose and rockers?

btw, I ended-up having the lower trim put back on my car.

Scott - I started a thread on the subject. Still wrestling but will likely just fix the rust.

Beltline and lower trim removed. May stick on some 3M beltline, but just can't decide.

Man that looks good! Which front spoiler is that?

Thanks! It's the Kamei replica. I think there are listings here on FAQ. Someone will chime in, I'm sure. I bought it from Perrier (Sp?) He makes the replicas. They are much better than the original, as I had that in the past too.

I thought so but wanted to be sure. I am already talking to him. Do you have any closer pics of how you mounted it?
