Re-painting the Gen3.....

[-SCWEET1-]

Okay, I am repainting the coupe. Same color, Gunmetal... The previous guy which done the work messed my paint up, anyway...


I am stuck on whether I should leave or shave the side molding... not the door handles though, just the moldings...

What do you guys think?

[secrecyguy]

There's a reason why it have side moldings.

But I can also see why you don't want them. To make your car look cooler.

So I am voting "Leave alone".

[EvoFire]

What are the moldings for? so you don't hit stuff with the door?

I would say shave it. Its a place where dirt hides.

[MIC0417]

Shave.

[eyeball96]

Leave em on!

[Tuner571]

Leave em, the camry just doesnt look right without them.

[Venom_5]

mine are discolored, so i hate the moldings

shave!

[ghettosled]

post up a pic of your car and ill photoshop the moldings off.

[Eye8Pussies]

as everybody is saying, it looks pretty okay with the mouldings shaved off.....but when you look at the car as an entirety, it doesn't fit very well since there are lines where the bumpers go on

if you mold the bumpers on as well, then.....it'll look hot but damn impractical though

Thanks Sled....

leave em on, i think gen 3's look ackward when the moldings are shaved...

mine is getting painted this week as well i was going to post the same question lol. i decided to leave it.

Hey milt the guy who painted yours, did he touch up the C A M R Y letters on the back tail panel? or were they already like that?

[WhiteRabbit]

shaving would be much cleaner, id be afraid of people parking beside me though....

[DAMON]

I say leave em milt, looks cleaner with them on there...

[95WhiteCamry]

leave 'em on. it just looks.... nicer with them.

o/t: anyone know how the moldings are attached to the doors/panels, though?
