S4 S5 Molding swap?

Hey, i was wondering if there's anyway to switch the S4 door side moldings with S5's. I know the S5's are held up by clips, is there any other way i would be able to mount them onto the S4 without putting holes in my door? Maybe i can cut off the clips and put them on with Epoxy?

Note you'd have to swap out the bumpers as the molding is integrated I believe. Also I think the S4 modlings & S5 bumper may not perfectly line up.

I'm not asking about the bumpers, just the sides. I'm looking into getting a GP Sports kit - which already has the moldings - and then getting some S5's for the doors.

I have the GP SPorts kit on mine but did not put back the S5 moldings on the door. It actually looks pretty good. But if you want to use the S5 moldings, get yourself some industrial strength 3M double sided tape - that should do the trick. Make sure to clean the surface thoroughly for maximum hold.

Good Luck.

Check the thread called "FC Pics" to see the GP Sports kit without the door moldings.
