Default Poll: Should I shave lower door trim completely or put S4 trim on when I do my side skirts?

These are the skirts I have sitting around waitning to be painted and installed by moi and my car is also Silver:

I love Adam's (TighTT's) shaved look in pictures and even more so in person.

I am leaning towards the shaved look, which will require the help of a friend and a good deal more of painting and prep. The S4 trim would be the same price to order and then paint as it would to shave the mounting bars and lower trim all together, but would result in something clean and different

Default There are mounting points for the trim to be shaved and only 1 hole to be filled that I know of...

Am I wrong here? The only screw is on the front of the door and all the rest of the mointing points are attached to the small little post/bars that the trim slides onto.
