molded means that it is "molded" in with the rest of the body, eliminating the lines.

Im not really sure. I know that my front was not molded, it was just a direct replacement of my old bumper.

molded means it is molded to the car. That means it doesn't come right off. The lines are gone.
Like this car. See there is no line for the rear bumper? It is molded to the body.


Modified means they modified the body kit.

with the exception of sides and maybe rears, i think molding is a bad idea

so now what if someone was to bash right into the back of car and cream that entire bumper, how would they replace and fix it?

either way i know it costs alot to get done and alot to probably to repair. i think it would look killer though 'cause they you don't have to worry about gaps and irritating things like that.
