    As I get closer to getting the mav together, I’m thing more about the little aesthetic things. I can’t decide if I want the stainless steal trim on the rain gutter moldings? I’m getting rid of the wheel well trim and all the side emblems. What do all of you think about the rain gutter moldings?

    My thought would be if you are leaving the chrome (stainless) around the door and side window frames, then leave the drip edge trim as well. If you are removing that door/window trim then the drip edge needs to go too.

    JMHO

    I always liked the "all or none" approach.

    Left mine off, think it just looks better. Also, just less of a place for water to collect and rust.
