Re: shaved moldings? Reply #1 – February 03, 2005, 07:56:56 PM andrew beedle did it on his t-bird.Edit: Oh you are talking about the actual bumper covers. I tried to think of ways to to that but I couldn't think of anything. You can't remove the molding from the bumper covers because it is actually part of the cover. I don't really like the molding on these cars very much either but I don't think there is anything you can do about the molding on the bumper covers. Quote Selected
Re: shaved moldings? Reply #3 – February 03, 2005, 09:05:41 PM You'd either have to make your own molds and build new bumper covers without the moulding, or cut off the moulding and fiberglass the space to smooth it out. I was going to do this but, it's more work than its worth. Quote Selected
Re: shaved moldings? Reply #4 – February 03, 2005, 11:19:39 PM I saw the result of it from my buddies bumper. He tried to cut off the moulding from the front bumper and it wasn't working at all. Quote Selected
Re: shaved moldings? Reply #5 – February 03, 2005, 11:26:03 PM the only possible thing i could see is to smooth the edges of the molding with junk you use to fix abs bumper covers (can't remember the name right now).that may smooth it out enough so it isn't as pr0nounced. Quote Selected

Re: shaved moldings? Reply #7 – February 19, 2005, 10:16:42 AM it can be done,, after all the removeable molding is gone, you end up with the 4 corners poking out. this is not something you wanna get into unless you going to paint. Use a 14'' or 18'' Draw Knife (wood working tool) to shave down the corners. I say a draw knife because you have more control on the outcome with reguard to shape. Sand and fine touch the rest then move on. Quote Selected
