    i got a mysterious dent on the bottom of my passenger door where the plastic molding would be on a gt/gtp. it looks like somebody kicked my door or a lift at the mechanics got it.
    the paint cracked some too.

    so what im wondering is..
    1. Try popppping it out from inside the door.
    2. getting the plastic door moldings for all four doors.
    ^^^^would this look ok without getting the side skirts on my se?

    will get pics up tomorrow

    With the paint being cracked. I wouldn't mess with it yourself. Will most likely chip the paint off popping the dent out.

    you need the skirts to go along with the door moldings, I know from experience that doing a SE to GT conversion isnt that easy. just take it in to get fixed.
    Or spend the next while hunting in junkyards for non rusted side skirt assemblies and decent plastics.. it was fun to do, but A LOT of effort!

    i think it would look funny if i got just the side skirts and not have the gt bumpers then. i would like to convert but dont have the money

    will get pics up after school
