Default ???To Shave or not to Shave EK Side Moldings???

Alright Killers So I just traded My Dc for a Ek anyways I wasnt sure if i should shave the door moldings. The reason i asked is because a few years back I shaved My eg's moldings and it looked very clean. So would shaved side moldings look GOOD??

If any of you have pics that could help me out, i'd be very thankful.

If you just shaved the holes, it would look decent but not the entire molding. If anything get the thin ones.

Dont listen to these guys. Pull the moldings, fill the holes, stand back and be glad you did. It looks good for sure. Just so long as you dont try and fill the entire indention where the moldings go, that looks like ***.

Pulling the moldings off and shaving the holes looks good because it still leaves that visual line there.

But really, you may as well just get the thin moldings. Same look, less hassle.
