    to mold or not

    Should I mold the rear bumper (stock) in to the body. And should I mold the megen lip in to the body.? Any one have pictures of this done?

    why mold a stock rear bumper...save your money and do it on something better or better yet like shave your moldings or some shit...

    i highly recommend not molding anything cuz all it takes is one smack and its cracked

              agreed. i don't know anyone with a front lip who doesn't occassionally scrape something, and god forbid you hit something substantial, and you'd have a lip and a bumper to fix.

              i wouldn't recommend molding the front lip, nor the rear stock bumper.

              if that's the case, why ask in the 1st place... as nike's motto goes "just do it"

                of course itd look cleaner..but say you mold it and you break it....and say you break your lip....you gotta clean up all the shit on your bumper and the lip then do it all over again...its just too time consuming and hassle....but its up to you

                  I've slammed my rear down plenty of times. Clipped it on curbs pulling out of places, rubbing it all the time. It's still on there and no cracks or any show of wear and tear.

                  BUT once you mold, its on there for good. You will be remolding over and over if you tear yours up.

                      hmmm, ive seen fully molded body kits in person and personally i think they look like crap. no point in molding the front unless you enjoy the fumes of Bondo. The rear ive chipped once or twice so i wouldnt do that either. only thing i molded were the sides cuz i think side skirts for our cars look like crap normally, molded sides are clean and I blew a ball joint at 65 sendind the tire into the fender and rippin the front kit, sliding my car into the side of the road and the skirts didnt crack.

                          according to www.asylumms.com where i got the kit they were "Sigma" sides, urethane. The original kit was a lip kit called "Sigma". I'd never seen it before and havent honestly seen it since, but to tell you the truth i havent looked.

                          anyways, yeah my sides are Urethane, and as you can see....
