Default Help! Anybody know who has the car without the side mouldings?

I remember seeing a Red car and he took off the side mouldings and made it flush with the car, I thought it was a 323ti or a 328ti but now I cant find it. If anybody remembers the owner or where the pics are on the forum, please help!

I know I saw the car here, just cant remember where to find it! Thanks!

I've seen it done several times, they just use body filler to make it flush and paint it, I honestly think the stock M-tech moldings look way better though, it flows better with the front and rear bumper moldings

OK, hopefully it will be easier to find a pic if several people have done it, thanks for letting me know.

I was thinking of getting rid of the mouldings around the whole car. I am getting ready to repaint the whole thing, I want to see some pics again and make sure it looks as good as I remember. That will help me decide if it is worth the extra work.

I actually like the car with moldings better. That front bumper looks rather awkward without it.

Thanks tifreak!

My car is black, I think it might blend in well once I am done. I need to find that pic of the red ti I saw here on the forum and post that, I remember it looking good.

Without the moldings I can't imagine how many door dings
I'd have.....
