shaving the reverse lights

Hey has any one here ever shaved the reverse lights on a 96-00 civic, is it easy, i understand i will have to weld a sheet of sheet metal and then bondo it smooth. please give me your suggestions.

no it's not easy, please don't try it yourself. If you do try it, I hope you have enough money to buy a new trunk lid. :)

lol ... yeah bro..dont just weld in a piece of sheet metal and then fill in the worked area with filler...do you know what gauge metal to use ? what kind of weld to bead ? its not as simple as it sounds and i wouldnt reccomend you doing it being that you sound like you dont have any body experience !!! im not tryin to be a dick, I just dont want you to destroy your trunk ... and besides wtf are you gonna use for reverse lights after the fact

It's not too hard. You can get it done with a little of my help.JUst call me and let me know.

please post pics :D

in a few days (in fact it goes in the shop today!) i will be starting the process of putting my body kit, wing and fenders on and shaving the inner tails so i will post pics of the before during and after. should be done in a few weeks just look for the post! Good luck with yours if you decide to do it!

Do yourself a favor...please don't use bondo...if you love your car, don't use bondo...

im not that stupid! I love my car i wouldn't hurt her like that! My friend is a realy good welder so he is going to weld a piece of sheet metal there and sand it down, and paint it. Great with body work and painting too. I just fitted the kit on my car last night and its lookin sick! Ill post pics when finished!
