Awesome looking car as is. I have never been fond of shaving and filling when it comes to the fc. The mouldings and trim give the car character and too much smoothing might make it look a bit plain. My .02c worth anyway.

Moldings are good, mmkay? Keep the body moldings, FC's look very strange without them. I dunno about the lip.

Looks allright to me, i'd just be worried about scraping the front bumper on something and ripping the whole thing off, or putting a huge crack in it.
