Molding is when you take the add-on body pieces, and permanently "mold" them to the car. You fill the seams with some kind of "putty" and then repaint the whole thing. The final result is that the body pieces look like they came from the factory, and not that something was just bolted to the car. THere is no visible seam between the new piece, and the original panel.

Nope, not mine

I did a search on the site to find pics of a non-molded J's racing bumper, and that is what I found ...

I have a Black/Black ..

Hey Relson,

Which shop do you usually go in Oregon? since I don't live in Portland, I want to know which shop is good up there.

I can see the seam and the color difference! Looks bad. Looks too tacked
