Ugly plastic trim on my lude...

I was wondering...I have '98 lude and I wanted to take the outside plastic trim that goes around the sides and back-end of my car...will it look stupid??? Basically I don't like how it looks now and so I'm not sure whats under there so I thought I would ask before trying to take the plastic off.Plus I'm getting a kit over the summer so it will have to come off and a kit will go into its place but not anything in the next month though.So let me know whats behind that plastic?!?!
Thanks,
