Opinions on rear quarter trim

[golf4283]

So I'm about to paint my car midnight blue but before I do I'm completing all the body work and filling in various holes left by the rocker trim. I'm undecided though if I want to keep the rear quarter trim or remove it. Here's a couple pics. What do you guys think? Keep the trim or get rid of it. It's hard to picture the color but it will be a really dark midnight blue.

I like both but really can't decide.

I like the trim.

65-66 GT's didn't have it, 65-66 fastbacks didn't, nor did the 66 Sprint, and any 64-66 Mustang could have been ordered with a 3/32" C stripe instead of the trim, for about $13.

Here's one in green:

I kinda like the trim on the darker colors, but mine is lighter and I dont think it would look as good with the trim myself. I am not a fan of the c stripe either. I am debating about the rocker moulding myself.

My vote goes for keeping it. I love the quarter panel ornaments/trim on all 65 66 67 68. I think its cool. There is no way I would delete it. I actually just put new ones on my 65 about 6 months ago.

Since we are talking about trim, I also like the rocker molding.

I have had two without and two with......I prefer with for looks, without for waxing and polishing. However, if the holes are there, I would keep them. The round holes are such a pain to get perfectly filled with weld that I have seen so many with minor cracks in the paint, it is real annoying.

Id keep it. They are part of the car. If you want to ditch the chrome over the door, that actually looks pretty good.
