Naw just cut the fronts even with the contour one of the fender lines and finish it off with some door guard molding.Dont cut to high or you might hit the windshield washer resovoir on the drivers side

Priorities change. You could have a 2dr and find out you have a child on the way, and need to sell it. Or you realize it's a money pit and need something more reliable, with better gas mileage.

Why does anyone ever sell a car?
