Need pics of 03-05 Black Cav LS SHAVED. :)

Hey, I got a 03 black cav LS, and I'm about to shave the door moldings and probably the gold bowtie. I'd really appreciate pics of identical cars with that done, so I don,t regret it 10 minutes later when it's too late

Thank you!

Oh and I did use search, but nothing came up. Not saying this haven't been posted before, but I can't get any results out. Anyways, posting is what keeps a forum alive, not SEARCHING!

If you regret it 10 minutes later, run down to the auto supply store and buy some 3M molding tape, and spend 10 minutes putting them back on.

Hey 2o3cavi: Do you prefer without the moldings? Does it make the swirls marks inevitable with a black car, appear more since there is no molding to "cut" the door in 2 ?
And lastly, have you got more door dings since you removed it? Thanks

The first week i bought the car i took off the moldings and trust you'll be so happy u did it, i find it looks much smoother and cleaner. And the swirls u just cant get away from them on a black car hehe sorry, thats why i use the 3 step mothers waxing or u can u use meguirers. I heard all good things from both companies.

Surprisingly no i dont have any dings but i know one day i will hehe and also i do park further away from most vehicules unless its really cold Good luck with everything

- Tip on how to do it -

1- make sure its warm out or u can use a heat gun but i would be EXTREMELY CAREFUL because im pretty sure it will screw up the paint - so warm day much better or maybe even a hair dryer instead of heat gun.
2- use fishing line and some gloves so u can wrap it around the glove for better pulling or should i say, up and down kinda like flausing (flossing) or how ever u spell that word.
3- make sure u have goo gone or something similar to take off the extra glue on car, then wash car, then wax.
4- That's it your done

Just be cautious on how much you lower it if you plan to...But if you're stock, just avoid deep pot holes and you'll be alright...Mine is Bomex and a daily driver ...plus i am lowered on coilovers....and factory struts...

Gbro: shave the moldings it will look much cleaner.

James C: The Ls kit and the bomex front are exactly the same distance from the ground to the bottom of the bumper, i measured before i installed mine. I live in Pa and i drive my cav year round lowered on sportlines with my kit, If you plan to lower it get a urethane kit. Also if you interested in the Ls kit i have a ls sport rear bumper for sale for $140 its victory red.
