Eclipto

well eclipto i have had a bad back expirience on shaving my moldings and i learned my lesson the hard way i killed the side moldings. but hey i guess it is true what you learn by messing up things. now im going to take my care down to a shop called M1 Autosport there going to shave my moldings (the correect way) and trunk for 800. is this a lil too steap of a price?

my friend had two of his handles shaved for $1500

All depends on where you go and how they do the work and the area you are in. Here, door handles, antenna, moldings (forgetting something im sure) was going to run my friend 3 g's - cause no one here does that kinda work. :o

hrmm i can tell u - im getting: Fully shaved(handles,mouldings,plate holder, antenna, & emblems), Full suspention(coils,shocks,front strut bar, f/r sway bars), New Paint job(diff color), poppers/alarm, & Sprayin inside of car w/ under body coating(rubber jizz).

all for around $5k.

Although- my mechanic is a family friend... so im gettin a hook-up...



heres a pic of a Shaved civic...

am am getting my rear door handles and license frame done for under 1000 bucks i am not for sure on the price because the price he gave me also included my taillights. he does a very very good job he did it do his civic.
thx

5k? yea your getting hooked up to his pocket book.. For one if your repainting your car anyway, it doesnt cost much to shave everything down since you kinda gotta strip the car anyway. I got my car painted and all the door jams, trunk lid and under the hood, 4 door handles shaved, body moldings shaved and my trunk shaved for 2200 bucks.. I paid about 300 for the poppers through autoloc.com. so for 2500 I managed to get all that stuff done.. Your suspension well I guess it depends on what your getting of course, but to spend more than 500-700 bucks on suspension is kinda pointless if you ask me, considering I only paid 200 for mine, nothing great but rides smooth and performs the way I want. And that wasn't through a "family friend". I would think a "family friend" would say you pay for the parts and brick a 12 pack and I'll do it for ya at no cahrge other than beer. Now granted with respect to your location labor may be more due the demand, but damn that sounds awful high. If anyone of of you is around or near North Carolina hit me up, and I will take you where I went.. I discovered this guy about 6 months ago and ALL of my fellow car clubbers are swarming in after seeing my finished product. Below is a pic of my car, well kiinda sorta, this weekend I will be taking new pics as we did a facelift on her and she looks hella different and hella tight now. Well good luck in filling up your buddies pocket book, and hope everything works out for you!!

Where at in north carolina. I'm from gastonia. how much would it be just to do the side moldings.

Are you going to get the car repainted as well? If so than it won't cost you hardly nothing to shave the moldings. If your just doing the moldings it will cost more becuase you have to paint the whole door and fender/quarterpanel.. However I will talk to my man and see what he would charge. What kind of car? and what color? Thats the info he needs to know.

I just need the moldings on the side shaved with no paint.it's a 93 integra. i'm about 4 hours from where you are i think but if it's a good price i could make the drive.
