most people will tell you to paint the moldings. there are only a handful of us that will keep it unpainted for one reason or another.

go through the gallery and filter through all the 4th gen's posted there and come to a decision for yourself on what to do w/ the moldings. remember you're trying to make the car the way you like it.

you can always try DIY painting to paint the molding, but one word of caution, i've yet to find spray paint that you buy at the stores that match the Honda "frost white". and seeing the car is 10+ years old, the paint has faded and matching it is even harder.

that's just my $0.02.
