Changing Molding

   Has anyone ever changed the ribbed molding of the 2M4/SE to the half-round molding for the Coupe(87/88)/Formula/GT? If so, how hard is it? Any tips?

Thanks

	The doors and fenders are easy. Its around the nose where the side markers meet and around the rear bumper skin where the markers meet that is a royal pain in the A$$. I would have to look at it to be exactly sure, however on the early cars, part is molded to the bumper and on the later cars its part of the markers themselves. In order to do the swap you have to get EVERYTHING from the donar car. However it can be done. This car use to have an 85 Coupe body on it. More pics of the car are here. http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=172 &PN=1
