side plastics off my 2002 outback

[2002outback]

can any one help?? i just got my out back not to long ago and i hate the plastic on the outside on the doors. i want is off so badly but dont know whats under it. i also am planing to re paint the car all black and tint all my windows to match. in my head it looks hella sick but only after i drop in 2". how do you guys think this will look?

It will look like a black Outback with holes all through the doors where the moulds used to be.

if you want flat doors get them off legacy or it will be a lot of bodywork to make the bottoms smooth it not just the holes under there

i was going to fill in all the wholes with bondo and do work to make it all smooth. how many hols do you think there will be ??

According to this - http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b12/type_20/body_equipment_exterior/outer_garnish/ - 10+ per door.
Plus the difference in paint under where the mould used to be - faded top half, new looking lower half etc.

thank you for finding that for me. i hope that my outback looks as good in person as it does in my mind when its all done. another question what will look better white,black,neon green or dark purple ? ( all paint will be professionally done. no spry cans) i will have pictures of my progress up soon

under the plastic you'll find that the area isnt flat from what i remember it has texture for rigidity so if you take plastics off you will need to weld new flat panels to cover the shape. good luck keep us posted
