Default 97+ door molding a definite with shine/ac kit???

My car should be going in the shop soon to have the kit painted and put in. Do you guys think I should get 97 door moldings? I seen a couple of photos with sc that have 97 skirts without the moldings and it looks decent.

What you guys think? Im trying to save the money, so I can get a fender worked on (remove ding dents and repaint).

Also how much should it cost to have a fender painted? I basically bought a used fender from a member here. All I need to have done is have it re rolled, sanded and painted to match my car. What's the average price you think who done it before?

Thanks in advance guys.

I would get the moldings, but it's not "NECISSARY."

yup, 19's, they are 19x9 +12 (6mm spacer for bbk) and 19x10 +18. Im lowered on megan racing coilovers and they are really low but with room to go lower.

So are you 19x9 +12 in front or really +6, cuase you said you have 6mm spacers. Please confirm. It looks good.

Why would you get an Aftermarket Body kit and not want to complete the look with the Door Moldings? I hate to see aftermarket kits or 97 + with pre 97 moldings...Just my $.02
