I say no shave, leave the moldings off. It looks good like that. Clean and different. I am not a fan of shaved moldings, doesn't look right. Looks boring and dull.

As for the hood prop, don't let others tell you waht to do. If you like it, leave it. But if I were you, and I was gonna keep the hood prop, I would atleast tone it down a bit. That thing looks like you could shove little kids in through the back.

In my opinion this old look was better than how it currently sits. In the old pic your car flowed nicely and has good style with the wheels, clean body lines. My advice would be to get it back to this look, so i say keep your moldings, if not then just get the ctr thin moldings if you want that "flush" even look.
