Exclamation Fiberglassed/bondoed trim(removed trim), can you put it back on?

I got a turbo 2 rx7 , and whoever the guy is that owned it before me decided he didnt like the trim going around the dooors and such...yet he failed to take it off the front bumper in the middle and the entire rear bumper ( epic fail), on top of that he did a crappy spraypaint paintjob which didnt help matters.

If i get some trim, how hard will it be to bring the car back to its original look ? Is it possible ? If so please let me know because i really hate to take away from the original look of my car.

It would probably be easier to just get some junk yard doors and just switch your locks. But anything can be undone with time, sweat and money.
