Coupes don't come with a base model that doesn't have moldings. Here's a picture of a dude's car that shaved his moldings. Hope this helps

thats exactly it ... i've been searching and all i find is ricers w/ everything shaved nd big spoilers all that garbage lol


reason i would like to see one is the molding on my coupe in the rear was rotted beyond fix and i really don't feel like cutting new holes in the metal for the mouldings lol

So are coupe moldings clip on? or like sticky taped on?? passwordjdm has stick on thin side moldings so you wouldnt have to cut holes... Or go with the no molding look which looks sick!
