: simple molding delete turns into!!!
kevin64 03-05-2012, 04:42 PM so im sure you guys have seen my other posts on my changing the interior in my car ,,, from blue to red. well all of this stuff stemmed from believe it or not me just wanting to delete my side molding ... lol so now im cutting holes in the floor repainting all of the interior plastic, bonnie swap, and a monte carlo steerig wheel swap... oh and ST urethane smoothies n trunk lock relocation!!! well i guess my original "red leather interior post" turned into somewhat of a complete build... so ill start posting all of my pics into this thread ,,,thanks

kevin64 03-06-2012, 04:45 PM thanks i finally jumped in and drilled the fender mounting holes into the front bumper everything went pretty good ,,, now i haVE TO figure out how to get the lower splash guard back in and how im going to layout and drill out for those holes. im really contemplating jusr remounting the splash guard with the three larger bolts under the wheel well and drilling new holes through both the smoothie n splash guard
kevin64 03-06-2012, 08:25 PM heres some pics of the front smoothie installed... remember ive NEVER ATTEMPTED anything like this before...
kevin64 03-06-2012, 08:30 PM passenger side of the smoothie isnt really up to par from the mold

ekm1190 03-06-2012, 09:16 PM Did you have any isssues removing the front wheel well moldings? I love the smoothie bumpers, can't wait to get a set for my 96, they look awesome.
kevin64 03-07-2012, 09:43 AM no issues at all with the wheel well moldings they were the easiest part ive taken off the car so far lol
ekm1190 03-07-2012, 04:04 PM no issues at all with the wheel well moldings they were the easiest part ive taken off the car so far lol
ok that's good to hear, haven't touched those yet on mine (scared there is unwanted rust hidden under there)
Meberhart 03-07-2012, 05:35 PM Im swapping 2 font stock bumpers next weekend. Good thing i have the FSM :)

kevin64 03-12-2012, 10:01 AM trying to do something different ,, what do yous think???
ekm1190 03-12-2012, 10:28 AM looks good, not too different a lot of people put the leaping dear emblem there instead of the retro one, but i actually like that one as well
kevin64 03-12-2012, 10:38 AM yea ive seen them i was gonna get the plain crossed flags but alot of guys have them too... thanks
kevin64 03-19-2012, 09:15 PM so what have you guys done with the drain holes after you ripped out the rubber from the pig cars????? lol just patch n weld up???
kevin64 03-20-2012, 12:11 PM any suggestions on what you guys have done to fill these holes in the floors???
kevin64 04-24-2012, 09:02 PM so i drove from philly to disney two weeks ago... spent a week down there and came home to my garage still dumfounded on what to do with the drain holes in the floor pans,,, im back home and still out of work ready to tackle these holes,,, any suggestions guys???
kevin64 04-24-2012, 09:06 PM should i just weld a plug in???
defdaboss 05-03-2012, 10:36 PM some people would replace it with another INC floor. some would just cut a square and trace up a new plate, weld it up. i also seen people use JB weld and smack a new plate right on!
