I'd leave them on and paint them if they aren't damaged or anything.

You can get them on ebay for like $40 (at least I did for my 4 door) they are just regular side moldings, just thinner.

I would say paint them. I like how they look without the moldings but those things can save you from some nasty door dings.

DO NOT BONDO! The crap never sticks in the doors as they are always being slammed shut by the idiot who sits in the pass seat! JDM thin moldings FTW!

Well i just got an idea also, i do still have my other doors without molding on them, i could put those on and just bondo the couple holes in the fender and quarter panel? or should i put the thinner moldings on?

De-molded ftw. It will look clean.

Its better to weld than bondo the moldings.

i think unpainted thin moldings would look sick just leave you handles unpainted this time!.....handles, mirrors, moldings all black = sick! gives your car some contrast!

The VX didnt come with side molding and i like it. My passenger door and front fender were replaced so i need to fill the molding holes. But I think NO moldings looks good.
