Pictures anyone?

When you first posted this question I was thinking of suggesting filling trim area with filler, but thought it might be to much work. But if you do go that route, either know what your'e doing or get someone who does. It wil probably take a lot of sanding to get it well blended. If you do it, send us some pics, I'd like to see what it looks like all smoothed out.

i think it might look a little weird without the trim.......that's probable because in my mind it's suppose to be there

yeah, i have already done some body work around all of the wheel wells so kinda know what im doin there. and as of right now there is a empty ring all around my car of where the trim was with the holes and every thing in it. i would have already replaced the trim except my fear was that it would be insainly expensive to do. also i didnt know it it was street legal to drive at night without those side reflectors in?

this is one of my problems... if i did go ahead and put in body filler, i couldnt decide if i should just permanetly attach the bumber and body with the filler or what else to do. also there is the issue of the red side reflector, i wasnt sure if it was legal for me to drive without it. i think that it would be a pain to bondo around that.

this is it w/o the trim in ( and a spot of a very temparary bondo job)

i say leave the trim in...it looks better that way

but if you want to spend the time bondoing...go right ahead

yeah, i dont know what will happen quite yet i havnt made up my mind. as of right now i think i will just fill in the wholes so it looks presentable. and if that looks like crap then i will find somethin else.
