take the black moldings off my car and have them filled in or shaved I guess?

I really want to get the RE amemiya front end but think it would look freaky on my car with 87 moldings down the side

 

Call a local body shop and ask them how much it'd be. There are some guys on the forum that have done it themselves, but I guess it's VERY time consuming and difficult.

 

I would call but right now im in Bangkok Thailand and my car is Dallas.

 

I plan on doing mine myself with the help of my Dad, he worked in a body shop for 15 years, so he should be able to give me some tips. I want to have it done by spring. When are you coming back to the States? Are you in contact with anybody in the DFW area that could help you out? There are ppl from that area on the forum, they might make some calls for you.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I want to get a new front end, but I have an 86 and the black moldings wouldn't look right.

I was thinking about just getting rid of and filling in the ones in front of the front wheels (between wheel and front bumper) and in back of the rear wheels (between rear wheel and rear bumper). Then the middle would just stay there. I don't think it'd look to bad, and then the new front/rear bumpers would look much better.

 

There is a guy on the internet that did that to his car and looks great. If I find the webpage I'll post it. Looks nice and smooth.
