Default Side/Door Molding Delete on CRX - Anyone Done It? Pics?

I'm purdy sure that I'm going to remove the door molding that runs from the fender to the quarter. I think it will look 'classy' being flush. Has anyone done this and if so does anyone have pictures? I've been looking everywhere but the only molding delete I see is the result of door skirts from a kit and I"m not after that.

Thanks!

A lot of the ST guys do it, I being one. I just got some 3/4" wide pinstriping tape and ran it down the side to cover the holes.

If you're looking to fill in the molding channel after removing the moldings, I'll save you the trouble - it looks absolutely hideous, and even moreso with stock bumpers. The Mugen/WW kit looks clean because it deletes both the belt moldings and the lower skirting all the way around the car, creating a uniform look.

If you're just looking to remove the moldings and close up the holes for the mounting clips, that doesn't look too bad - in fact, some base-model JDM Civics were sold new without moldings. Looks a lot more appropriate on a Civic hatchback than on a CRX though . . .
