I like the look without the molding, but I'm kinda biased since my hatch didnt have it stock.

Definently looks better without them on. But after getting a huge dent on my drivers side door, I wish I had them.

I really like how 92-95 VX's and CX's didn't come with moldings but they have the indentations for them. On 96-00 civics, moldings are a must. Once they're shaved, the car looks plain and cheap, ie 7th gen civics.

I also like the look of the thin side moldings. But when I do get my car repainted they will prolly get shaved .

better make up your mind, cause once you shave them, it's a LOT of work to put them back. imo, you should keep them on

I like the look of them off, but getting anything (body wise) to stick in there is a bizznitch. Especially since the door is always being slammed and stuff. I've seen too many cracked bondo jobs, so I'm just gonna keep mine and save the headache.
