If it were me, and I had money, I'd shave it (only if you shave everything else, and were running a body kit...). But that unpainted SiR looks dang good...

If you paint it, paint all the moldings...
If you leave it black, leave all the moldings black...

id leave it black. I was told by my body shop that even with flex additive its possible for the paint to flake off the rubber trim on the doors. The rest of the trim is ok but the rubber on the doors will cheap easily. I kept my side skirts and side moldings black. Looks better IMO.

Re: paint moldings or leave it black? (4g_civic_si)
I'm trying to decide myself on what to do with the moldings on my car. Here's some red painted moldings but on a crx.
That's some crx I found on ebay a while ago.
