I'm one of those guys who can't stand chrome or bling, and that includes pinstriping-that would be the first thing I'd remove. The door molding has actually come in handy for me many times, but mine don't stand out as much since they are the same paint as the rest of the body. If anything, I'd pop those off and replace with white ones that will blend in. As I said, they are quite useful for me, but if you have never noticed them doing anything for you, then just dump 'em altogether.
Don't like the all-black roof. Reminds me of the FJ & the ridiculous white roof it has. While I have bedlined the roof gutters and the rock rails, I can honestly say I would not want to do this on a larger piece of the body. Problem with any of the plastidip/bedlining is that you don't just put it on and forget about it. Bedliner seems to last much longer, but it does color fade and, much like plastidip, some of it will start coming off at some point. That means touching it up, although I don't know if you can do that with plastidip like you can with bedliner.
If I were in your shoes, I'd probably entertain the thought of bedlining the rocker panels. Black & white look great together, so you can't really go wrong.
