there are between 4-6 rectangular holes, but im pretty sure that the underneath is painted. also, that space is indented so you will need to have that filled otherwise you will have a whole going across your door instead of molding. so unless you want to have that indention on your door you will need to have a body shop fill and paint the thing.

The moldings are held on by plastic grommets, it is painted underneath , the green car had it filled in with bondo and sanded and painted because there is an indention.
