Default no side moulding on a white car?

So I scraped up my driver's side moulding. I could repaint it, or I could just take them all off.

I'd rather keep them for protection, but I'd also rather not spend anything, not to mention taping it back on looks like it will suck.

It looks great on black cars, but I don't think I've ever seen a white 944 without the side moulding.

BTW, who's black 944 turbo (with no moulding) was at the GA Tech auto show?

My first one was a white 84, no side molding. It looked great with the factory Fuchs.

speaking of which; I was thinking about repainting my 15" phonies. They aren't the greatest wheels but I don't feel like buying new ones and I can't get over how cheap 15" tires are!

What color should I repaint them?

With phonies I'd either stick with silver or try polishing them maybe? I don't think I've ever seen that.

Polished phones look nice.

I've seen polished and they look cool on 951s, but it'll look like hubcap spinners on a civic IMO.

Yeah dude, chromed out wheels....15" wheels. And you have crap falling off your car everywhere to boot.
