hello.. has anyone bothered removing the groove that runs down the side of the E-series? I reckon it would make the car's side view look fresher and less dated.

I reckon it might make the car look plain and very tall rather than low and squat. Just my opinion though

the one near the door handle looks ok removed
the main think groove for the door moulds when completely flat looks stupid.
doors look far too bare.
