If you are painting the car anyway, then yes. Shaving them will probably be cheaper than replacing or painting the moldings. If you are not painting the car, don't put yourself through the hassle.

I can't vote and i dont know why. " you don't have permission to vote", but I say shave them. Looks waaay cleaner. Also I think typeR's are clean also because they dont have side moldings.

Re: need h-t's opinion (sohc_mnstr)

Shave them. I had my side mouldings shaved when I had the car painted and it looks better, especially since you have the optional sideskirts.

I'd spend money on new rims first. Just my opinion.

I think usually when someone opens their door into yours, it doesn't really hit the molding anyway.
