Has anyone thought of or attempted a MK3 with out the body moldings. I'm talking about making the side door (as an example) making it flat and flush. The only probably I have run into is the front bumper. The molding lines flow's into the blinkers. But if we close that off and make it similar to the MK4? What does everyone think about this?
no moldings

AWESOME! great thanks for that. I was thinking about mentioning if it's been done before. Now what's the communities opinion of that? is that acceptable or is it frowned apon?

who the fuck cares!? Do what you like. Its your car. I wont tell you how many hours of body work Randy put into his car, because I dont remember exactly. But I do know that he told me he'd never do it to another car again. Lots of hours to put in just to have another car look the same as his, In my opinion

good point
I'll be considering it. I'll have other mods that will make me different from him.
I have never seen that picture of Randy's car. It's a beautiful shot.
That said, his car would look better with the molding IMHO. If it weren't for the lines left by the front and rear bumpers, and the rear mud flap. That's just too much to ignore for me.

you kidding?Thats the picture I see the most of his car.
I'm not a fan of no shaved moldings but in some case's like Randys car I think it's looks good.But hey diffrent stokes for diffrent fokes.I say nay but it's your car.
I'm shocked that there not more pics up cause I've seen at least 6 MKIII's with shaved moldings.
p.s.ForcedTorque I hate mudd flaps lol

Is that a shot at my car not having any? I am currently in negotiations for a set. Waiting on a price from Toostand.

Even if you did all the work and put all the steps in the same order as Randy, Im sure it would turn out to be a little different and you'll add your own touches here and there. A few more pics that ive got kicking around
I got the pic off of bicperformance.com, there's more on there if you're interested in more shots. I agree with what you said about the lines, I just didn't say anything because the OP didn't ask before, and as stated before the OP didn't have to. If I did what people have been telling me, I would have a 96+ mustang instead.ForcedTorque;1469736 said:

Now I've never seen those pics, it looks even nicer than I thought. I prefer mouldings, too, but I can really appreciate the work.Supra28;1469916 said:
I prefer moldings, but if you do it. Please finish it... I've owned 2 supras that people started to work on the moldings and never finished... its annoying... but to each there own
Not my taste but its your car so do what you please. Maybe adding binker's covers from Kevin to it could make the flow of the body at the front a little bit better IMO.
it can look good if done right, but the way the turnsignals are placed, it makes it hard to look like it's supposed to be shaved..
I've considered Shaved Moldings, Stereo Antennae, Rear Wiper, Washer Nozzles Since almost all the components have been Removed for weight loss and track performance. But My issue is I shelled out near $50 For my JDM Bubble Side Repeaters and Without the molding They'd Prolly look like crap. There could be a way to fix that but I want to make sure No punk-ass kids in my Apartment wont Rip them off.... Lil Bastards :3d_frown:
so whats better.. finding a complete set of post 89 moldings or shaving them? I like the look of both honestly. either one beats the pre 89 bubbly corroded moldings..
