Default Installing side moldings on shaved sides

Asking for my cousin who bought a 92 EX with shaved sides. When I mean shaved, I mean completely flushed with the whole side. It's clean and done well, but he wants moldings on there and was wondering if he could buy those OEM moldings with tape on the back and just slap it on. But I was telling him it might lookg bad because isn't it concaved where the moldings go? So wouldn't it look 'popped out' if he put it over the shaved part?
Has anyone done this? Any advise?
