So nice, that basically what mine looks like except I have orange side markers that I'll switch out until the body work is done. I'm hoping to get my sides filled and painted for less than $200 because the shop I use is owned by my friend and they have blended my paint before so hopefully it's cheaper. I'm guessing bondo is out of the question huh ?

The only bondo you want on there is a light skimming to give a smooth finish over the newly welded sheet metal. You shouldn't have any problem with it cracking or sinking if its just a thin coat.

Look at this pic. Look how clean the sides of the car looks with the emblems/and side signal removed. It makes the the car look soooo much cleaner with so little changed. Thats why....

-Take some needle nose pliers, and very carefully grab on to the sides of whichever peice you're taking off.

-Pull

Works every time! Then like everyone else said, clean it up. I either use 3M Adhesive remover, or Goo Gone
