The side moulding are there to protect your door from accidental dings and bumps. If you remove them, you have no more protection.

And yes there will be small square holes if you remove them. Having them shaved would require someone welding a piece of metal behind the holes and then filling the gap with bondo.

but then the side would look nicer, isn't it?

i have to agree both ways looks nice but who wants dings?

It's really a toss-up that depends on where you live. If you live in a densely populated city, I'd say don't do it. One careless act by granny in the Walmart parking lot and WHACK, it don't look pretty no more.
