Default EG coupe shaved body molidngs :/

Okay, so i bought my EG 3 years ago, was new to the honda scene and didnt know much about them. Its been a work in progress to get this thing how i wanted it, and all the previous owner's mistakes and horrible decisions fixed. Now it comes time to paint it. Will be within the next month it gets started i hope. The biggest problem is, i need to decide what to do. Someone before me has shaved the side moldings. The car is flat black right now, and it hasnt bothered me per say. But as i looked at pictures on the internet of pictures of shaved moldings and a good paint job, i wasnt feeling it. There is only ONE car i found i didnt think it looked bad on.

The main concern is the spot behind the door, 1/4 panel molding. The fenders i can replace and the molding area come back, the doors are just filled with filler (odd because the rest is welded). What do you think is the best option? I am NOT getting a different shell.

The door isnt the issue, its the 1/4 panel thats been welded. I think im going to have someone cut it out and weld in a new panel in that spot.
