my lil brother still has his side moldings on his 94 w/ JDM frontend w/ oem HID. It's black, so they must not stick out as much.

First. This should be in the Appearance / Cosmetic forum.
Second. Not one ITR in the US ever came with a side molding, therefor this could also be moved to the Intergra forum.

No moldings looks better on any Integra of course, but a having a JDM front doesn't make having them look any worse.

If you wanna leave em on, go for it...no big deal!

i believe side moldings should only be on DA's (and they should only have thin moldings)

there's *thin* side moldings for integras, right?

do/would the thin side moldings look clean? after looking at some more pics, it definitely looks much cleaner without stock sides...

No sidemoldings pWnz0rZ.

JDM fronts look silly with them. Same thing goes with an ITR wing and side moldings.
