Default C-Pillar shave? anybody done that? (pic)

I think pulling off the trim and filling the holes and adding weather stripping around the windows would look pretty clean and be more aredynamic...

i cant find anybody that has done it

I wouldn't.
Bondo shouldn't be used that thick for starters.

Then what do you do with the A to B pillar trim? And then what about that rubber strip that is mounted along the bottom of the quarter glass? And then the matching strip along the bottom of the door glass?

The strip along the bottom of the quarter glass would look out of place, but if you remove it then now the one on the door does as well. And if you leave the A/B pillar trim on then you need to figure out a way to transition it where it terminates at the B pillar.

That C pillar trim ties a lot of other things together aesthetically. Without it, at a minimum "something's missing" and to a greater extent all of those other items seem to go nowhere.
