#39954, "Need an Opinion, Yes or No"


          

Well, I know everyone has VERY different opinions here but I'm gonna ask anyway.

I really hate the body side moulings on the side of the Talon, they really wreck the line of the car when I have the body kit on in summer (see the signature and my webpage for pictures). I was talking to a local guy and he can refer me to the guy that did a vinyl decal for his car. What we were thinking is taking the body side moulding off (then there would be 2 holes in the door). Then getting flame decals and putting them from the wheel back and have the flame cover the hole.....not only will it cover the hole but I will also get them in ghost, which *should* look pretty cool. But I can't decide, do you guys think ghost flames will look any good, or just a waste of money?

My other option is to take the side moulding off and have holes for like a year, or leave the side moulding on. And maybe if I can find a cheap and good place that can fill the holes and paint - but I can only imagine how much that will be emoji

i agree that they dont look as good when there is a body kit on. i will buy them from you if you do decide to take them off. let me know when the time comes, i doubt i will find any before that. personally i would leave it all the same color.

You could fill(preferably welded) or bondo the holes yourself and sand it down smooth before you put the graphics on since your not gonna see the underside of it. I've installed many full body graphics and there is one guy in paticular who wanted me to take off the side body line on his ZX2 and it left 2 holes along with a channel groove where it recessed in for the body line, so I asked do you want me to bondo up the holes before I installed the graphics and he said no.

Now when you install the graphics with the holes you can still see them really good. My suggestion is to fill up the holes and get the graphics to cover the spot you preped. So when you remove the graphics it will be ready to paint if you so choose to.

I can make you the full body graphics you want when the time comes if you want.

I think do something to get rid of them...they look hidious with the body kit. I don't like mine w/o the body kit. I think so like Myke says, bondo over and then cover over with graphics or get painted.

Maybe remove the moldings, and save to have them welded and repaint. but graphics on a charcoal car?...please noooo. Charcoal is a color to be showed off, don't spoil it with flame graphics...

Yeah thats what I've been thinking. On my color I don't think you can have any nice color graphics, thats why I wanted ghost....but I don't think I'll go through with it.

Got another project in mind emoji emoji
