Default Help: Wald kit

Hey I was wondering if someone with the wald executive kit can tell me how they fix the rubber molding on the bottom of the doors so it didn't stick out with the side skirts on. Thanks for all your help.

You cannot retain the rubber molding without it looking wired. I have the Sportline kit and I also had to remove the actual molding. How does it look, well it looks normal, nothing out of the blue. You can see a slight difference if you are at eye level where the side skirts start, but other then that, you won't even notice.

Are you talking about the molding that's on the front and rear rocker panel? If so, yes, they should be removed for a perfect visual match. My car ofcourse is in the shop, I will shoot some pictures for you guys tomorrow if no one has done so by then.

Idealy, it will not be wise to leave the molding on the car, not only does it effect the car cosmetically, but the hard rubber molding can also over time scratch the top of the side skirts.
