i was thinking...when i'm getting close to getting my body kit and getting a paint job to get some body filler and fiberglass and remove the side trim from my doors and fill it in with that stuff.....

what yall think?

all up to u! personally, i let a body shop do that stuff, but if u wanna save money or because u like DIY (some people do), u can do that urself if u like. i actually like the door trim and kept it.

well did a quick photoshop on my car to see how it would look... maybe i will have them flushed if i ever get bored (i get bored too often):

how the car looks no w/ door trim:

Nah, Denver is right, I had them welded. They have to be. You need something for the fibgerglass to hold on to. Also if where those holes were gets hit or whatever, it will just go right in.
in this link towards the end of the pics you can see what was done to mine

yeah i dunno. i didn't have them flushed when i had the kit put on for just that reason... didn;t want the car too smoothed out that it looked boring especially because the rest of my kit was molded to look very simple, not a lot of lines.
