But we have a process, instructions and help for any body shop to easily mold that line away upon paint and installation, to have the clean look if desired.

Yes you'll have more info soon, and as you can see, guys will be jumping on this, and as always you'll get some good install and reviews. Internally we're very excited about the R&D that's been put into this fascia, and it's functionality..

I guess the problem with that is that a body shop is going to charge $200 or so to mold those in compared to the $200 or so in shipping to get the same product. Personally I'd rather see the full bumper made and not have to worry about body filler cracking later down the road from molding in those "extra" pieces.

Give us a chance to launch the product and show you everything before we get to assumptions..

I'm not talking about molding like blending in a lip spoiler..

then post them up

Generally when I think of molding in a body line, it is filling a seam and smoothing it with filler.

^^^Exactly what I thought Caravan when I read the "body line" thing. I'd rather have a true one piece cover and pay the shipping premium than deal with those issues...but I dont want to jump to any conclusions though so Ill wait for the final product.
