Side molding, opinions and ideas?

[Jerd]

I pulled mine off the other day and i love how much cleaner it looks. Problem is.. now i have a bunch of holes.

Sooo i have seen vinyl i have seen plugs and paint, and i have seen the ipd molding kit.

What other options are out there? Please post up any and all pictures you have of optional side molding.

Before someone tells me to weld up and paint i want to say, its not happening. Im not painting my car.

I have seen a lot of these threads, and I think that this is the simplest solution I have aver come across, well done!


To the OP, remove yuour lower trim as well, or paint it black

Are there holes under it?? If not then i probably will.

[olov]

mask, scuff, repaint

i wouldn't pull it, who knows what the paint underneath looks like

I think there are. But you should pull it anyway and respray it, or mask around it and then respray it. Just to clean up the look a bit more, if that's possible, that's a pretty slick looking car.

I think ill pull it off and spray it and then the body underneath ill roll plasti dip onto.

Sounds like a plan lol

And thanks :)

Your car looks amazing but there is no way i could afford to do such a beautiful job! :(

[2fast242gt]

i saved for along time to get the paint i always wanted. but you could do it yourself and learn and save a tun. my cars next paint job ill do myself when i have my own place.

I like the way it looks with the '92 black trim. To each his own.

JY $2.99 a foot at PnP.
240 Turbo trim is black too.:oogle:

[Jerd]

I have never seen any here... But if i ever do im all over it.

[Bonerjams240DL]

Yea, it doesn't look bad with the all black trim, especially around the windows like '93.

[pooprah]

its like made to fit huh? :oogle:

[NotSoFresh]

yup, mine still has its factory black. they also blacked out the top 3 inches of the doors (the flatter bit) and put in black headliners in the turbo 240s, did i forget black bumpers and grill?

[ZVOLVO240]

Ive just accquired some all black trim!!!! Just gotta get the clips in them and Im set!

92-93 cars are the $hit

[Jerd]

lul dude idk.. its suuuupppperrrr close on my car, you will see it next weekend.

[DaButcher]

if you remove the molds, it has holes in the chassis.

also, black trim was availible earlier than 93'.
Both on GLT models, as well as on the "black line" models (with pin stripe).

However, the newest type 240 had a new front window too :-) it's flush with the chassis, not a aerodynamic drag like the older type(s).

[Jerd]

Uh.. i have a 91 so i have the newer front window and i already replaced the trim with a pin stripe.

You kinda bumped and old thread lol :P

[yellow95]

Sorry for the bump from the dead, but I am new to 240's. How do you get the side trim off? Can it be removed without ruining it?

Thanks

Gary

[Jerd]

Yeah, it pulls off just be gentle.
