I hated every second of my tuck/shave and i'm about to pull the engine and make it better for 2014. do you plan on pulling the panel bond stuff off the seams and welding the panels together or are you just gonna rock that stuff? i'm asking because I left it alone when I did mine 2 years ago and now i'm going to pull that stuff out.

- Wed Dec 18, 2013 5:27 pm #340259 sorry for the late reply I have since packed up the civic for winter, I have less than favorable conditions to work on her so I decided to treat my pick up to some attention, had it since Feb of this year and not one problem yet :thumb: and I was wondering about that, do you think it would be safe to remove the sealer and weld or what? Im all for style and personality but I need some safety lol.. I think it looks like shit right now but I don't want my panels to fall apart if I take it off lol

I think the seam sealer looks like ass too, especially for what im trying to do, but like teal said, it will def be worth it in the end, and thanks for the encouragement guys!
