Shaved mouldings

Who has shaved/smoothed the mouldings on their 2nd gen?

What did you use? how has it held up?

Im gonna do this to my car but i want to make sure that she gets the good sh%t.

OR...
should i just take it to a body shop and pay them to do it?

Could this be done with fiberglass cloth and fiberglass instead of welding sheet metal and finishing with bondo? I guess welding would be sturdier...

buy some s5 trim. it almost looks shaved/ plus the FC needs a little something to break up the large body panels. unless you have a full body kit to put on it to round the body up a bit.
