SA moldings on an FB

Most people seem to prefer to remove the side moldings from their FBs. I think that the car looks incomplete with out a contrasting belt line. I also think the FB molding is a little to prominent.
So I started wondering how SA moldings would look on an FB.
Any one ever do this? got pictures?

Why not just paint a black strip in the groove?

Just remove the molds all together. You'll thank me later for saving all the headaches.

Yeah the fr and rr bumber trim on your FB might be a problem, but the body itself was notched specifically for the SA thin moulding and IMHO it looks like it belongs - but then, I have an SA...
Also what to make sure there is no issue with the fr fender side lights...??
