shaved lower door moldings....
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/50830/audia4_abt_sideskirts.jpg"></center><p>I removed the lower moldings on the car so those little nubs could be shaved, and then repainted. Well i now see that right under the door is the rubber end exposed from the door sills. Is this normal? What do other peoples cars look like with the moldings shaved off? I am having ABT side skirts installed and it would look cleaner with it removed, until i noticed the rubber exposed a tiny bit. ???
thanks, chris

You have to remove the door sills first and foremost..

if you want to shave the lower tabs you need to completely repaint your doors
you might as well shave off the middle molding as well. i plan on doing this whenever i win the lotto but for now trim guard does the job.

my shop wouldn't paint the thing, so it's that black strip that you see.
