Passing life by
The doors are held on with a sticky adhesive the fenders are snap connectors. remove the side marker and reach your hand behinde there and pinch them off. The bumpers can not be removed.

I've only ever seen 3 others, one belonged to the guy I bought this one from and the other 2 belonged to the guy that ownes the mold. I'm glad you guys like it.
BTW the side skirts are gp1's and the front bumper is a bomber bumper from CAD. I think it's really a bomex bumper. Not sure though. Sexindarex:What side skirts did you use?
On another note: There's no such thing as a beautiful body job without body filler of some type. If you think otherwise your just kidding yourself.

I used a GP sports kit for the rear and side skirts I decided not to put on the front bumper. I went with a stock one and will add a shineauto front lip.

It's your call. Have a look at my stock fc earllier in the thread. It's all colour matched. I personally don't like the molding shaved without having the bumper's shaved as well, and the bumpers are the hard part cause there thin and you can't just shave them down, you'll cut through way before they're flat. They need to be built up. It just depends on your taste. The blue one with the rub strip gone looks pretty nice too.

I'm guessing English is'nt his native language because he said he fixed an earlier sentence that still had gramatical errors and he spelled "rider" in his name wrong (I do realize there's a typo in my name too though.....) and he uses all CAPS.

Much better "ryder" we just know that the other people on this forum will ignore you with that slang/short speak. So when you are her please type in complete sentences and use as little slang as possible it will gain you more respect and get you more responses to inquiries. We only lookin out for a brotha yo. Seriously everything including the last sentence (even though I was still poking a little fun) is sincere, we do just want to help.

Maybe most of us are just old and grumpy,LOL. He's right though. Anyway, if you don't want to paint the whole car or spend money getting someone to blow it all in don't do it. Not to mention (I think someone already did) white is really hard to match. When I pulled my moulding it warped the body a bit and found a bit of rust. If you want an easy way to give the car a new look tape them off and spray just the rub strips. Just be sure to spray a test piece and hold it up to the car in the sun to make sure your ok with the matching of the colour. Hope it helps some. Good luck.
