I have a black car 1970 that came with white interior. It also had white side moulding. The side mouldings completely ruined the lines of the car and just looked bad. The functionality of them for helping reduce door dings was great though.




In that case, I'd suggest to leave the moldings. If the stripes make the car stand out, I think the molding doesn't look as ugly as it may.

But blue with black molding? It looks like an afterthought. If he leaves it off, he can always put it on later especially since finding good trim is difficult. Putting a hockey stick stripe is lowest common denominator thinking in my eyes. The strobe stripe is another idea, as someone mentioned.

Regarding ruining the lines of the car, I don't really understand considering the Barracuda's character line is completely horizontal, which is where the molding is.
