If your just doing the sides and have the money I would say yeah but...
If you are asking if you should mold the sideskirts, front and rear bumper to the car? If so I say no unless you have alot of money. First it's probably gunna cost alot to get it done. Second if it's not done right, (and I know alot of places don't do it right to cut costs) you will need to do it again in a year or so.
Third and most important, if you ever hit something head on, damage the front, or just decide you want to change the front bumper, instead of just being able to swap out bumpers you will need to unmold the bumper, the fenders that it was molded to will most likely have been damaged if it's from a wreck, they will also they will also need to be removed. Then you'll need to mold everything again to make it look right with the sides and back being molded.
I know thats alot of if's but it's always something to consider. I would only recomand molding if the car is going to be show only and trucked to shows
Just my $0.02

yeah i went and talked to the guy this morning he recommended molding for kits that didn't fit exactly right, were damaged, or had side vents like his eclipse so imma let him go ahead and shave down the lip on the side skirts and put in some support rivets for them and repaint them to match the car here's some pics of his other cars

like the other guy said, if you have money then do it
but from my friend experience with molding kit
it pretty much suck, cause if you damage anything
its gonna be a pain to replace cause its molded to the car body already

my personal opinion would NOT to mold the front/rear but MOLD the sideskirts...gets rid of the ugly body lines that ruin a nice clean look. but thats my opinion so take it as u wish.

ive taken body courses for 5 yrs so maybe its my experience. oh ya i also undercoated the kit so less sound
n less chances of rocks doin suttin to kit...
