Default Side Mouldings

Should I paint my side mouldings, remove them, or leave them stock? The car is a 1995 Acura Integra LS 4-door.

Thx,
Ben

I painted my side skirt, emblem holder, eye brows, exhaust pipe,
rims, value cover, ceremic coated CAI pipe, brake thing, windshield
sprayer, mug flap.
cracks, clips? what's that? jk
I agree, abs and other soft plastic is much harder to stick paint
but it can be done.
walking example.
