Remove side trim?

Remove side trim?
I was looking around the other day, and noticed a lot of cars without the side trim/bump guard or wahtever it is called. How do you think it would look if ours was removed, and the empty space filled/painted?
I sorta wish our front markers were flush mounted too...
I'm sure someone here can see where I'm going

I prefer the body colored trim that comes with our cars.
The trims are held on by clips so you may have to to get the holes filled and repainted, which you have already mentioned. Also, there will be an indention where the old trims were there. But then again, I'm sure the body shop will smooth it out since you would have it filled and repainted anyway.
Oh man...I remember when I had my Explorer, the trims were only stick-ons. I took it off for a while and it looked great since the trims were more of an afterthought. I put them back on before selling it and I don't know... I liked it with the trims on too. Oh well....it's a matter of personal taste.

To me they just don't seem to flow, they seem just stuck onto the sides, unlike the RL where the chrome accented trim flows all the way around, I think it pulls it together better.

It makes the sides see a bit taller it looks like, I do sorta like it though, but I'll probably never end up doing it, just had it as a thought.
Maybe I just need to clean mine up (they look like hell, along with everything else, god damned HS parking lot)
Get clear corners
Do you know anyone in RI that will pass a car for inspection with tints?

My old civic,I had my side trims and rear door handles shave so the graphics could go on easier...but it was a bitch sanding,filling,sanding,filling....and still we can see the waves of flaws.But the graphics covered it.If ya gonna go with the Eurolook,them maybe okay,shaved and smooth like a .............If not,maybe better to leave alone.In Japan,shaved looks are out...Only hard core show cars.BY the way,check out www.artfactory-inc.com on the first page,youll see a purple civic with japanese graphics and white rims...click on it. Its my car...sold it few weeks ago though.
