Okay, thanks to Kerebrus pic, I did an amateur molding paint job. Choice is, with moldings and bumpers painted body color, shave the side markers and eliminate them (aka, no moldings), or keep it stock.

They look naked to me (not in a good way) with no moldings. SA's pull off the look better I think.

Cars that are completely 1 color are disgusting. Keep the black trim all around the car.,

Looks good so far. Are you putting a clear coat on or is that just primer, I can't tell.

It's all up to you in the end. In my opinion, I love the way my car looks after eliminating the side markers and moldings. I don't necessarily think a car that is all "one color" is bad, to me it's a cleaner look. Whatever you think will make you happy do it :]
