haha. if your going to shave, then you should do everything, all emblems, door handles, modlings.
the thing is it costs A LOT. You'd have to repaint things that you shaved, then you would have to get the color to match. There would be welding involved, or you can always Bondo, but it'll eventually crack.
i'd say your looking at a minimum of $1.5k US

IMHO shaved moldings make the car look cleaner, but then, there's a reason they put them there in the first place - so that the jackass with the SUV who parked next to you doesn't ding your doors. So, be prepared to pull the dings out of your door, inevitably, you'll get them.
