   do all saxos come with bump strips that have the square cut out for vtr/s westcoast etc. etc. cause would like to find ones that will fit directly to my door without having to go to all the hassle of geting it smoothed over and sprayed

   remove the badge, fiberglass the hole, then a very small amount of filler over the top.
