Default W68 kit removal

I am considering removing and selling the W68 kit from my 98 Firebird. If I do this I will be adding TA front and rear fascias and TA ground effects. Will there be holes left open to sight in the body of the car if I do this? Mainly just concerned about the doors and rockers where the W68 kit will have formerly been. Thanks!

i did this on my 01 it will leave holes in the bumper (which you are swapping no big deal)
it will leave holes on the rocker's under the door (which you are putting ta skirts on again no big deal they will be covered) but it will leave 2 holes in the fender that will be visible without repair.

Cool sounds great! So there will be no visible holes in the rockers as long as the TA sideskirts are on it, but two holes in each fender. What about the doors? Will there be holes or are those moldings held on by adhesive tape only?

I never heard of anyone removing the W68 kit besides blackbyrd. I love my W68 and i dont think i could ever give it up

Good luck with everything!

fergy most of the kit is held on with 2 sided tape, with brackets underlying it but you are correct the part on the door is only on there with double sided tape.

tmc2k1 i opted out of mine for the money and the project i have going and if it works out as planned you will see why i got rid of it. i got rid of all my formula bumpers as well

Thanks for the help man. I wanted to know before thinking about selling it because I do not want to get the car painted.

tmc2k1, if you want another one it is in the classifieds
