i suppose i would probably be able to just rip the plastic off and gring the ridges down then filler weld it in but then id need to paint it and everything..so any other ideas boys?

Are you talking about the rubber door protector thingy's.
Just rip them off, then clean any goo off with wax and grease remover or a product callled 'goof off'. This stuff is really good, I have used it on mine and dad's car to remove glue.
Then just polish till shiny again, it shouldn't leave any ridges, it didn't on my car. Although I put mine back on cause bumholios kept banging their car doors into my doors.

Mate I have a corsair. Just rip them off if you want.
On my car there is no lip only a indent in and then back out, but this is in the metal. To fix you would need a bit of bog, some metal sheeting to cover over the majority of the lip area(the bog is to smooth it out) and a bit of patience. It looks allright without the black strips.
Have a look at the members rides section at some other cars, I think it is mostly TRX'S that don't have the rubber strip. Try and find Noss's white pintara T (??), it has white wheels, is white and has no rubber strips except on the bumpers. It looks absolutely fantastic.
