their is 3 body lines that run around the entire car (ribs). how do you think these would look shaved, along with th reverse lights, and shaved antennae and trunk lock (already done)

Like an Alero w/out a trunk lock! lol. It'd definately make it look more clean. I'm all for custom shaveing but I personally wouldn't shave the ribs. Your car & your call though. to each thier own.

Some of the newer GAs (the SEs I believe) come rib-less. I've heard that on the older ones, when you just pull off the ribs, there will be funny metal things sticking out of the side of your car that will need to be cut off, sanded down, etc etc.

You are correct. I know this because I had to change one of mine when I first got the car do to an minor accident the previous owner was in. A piece side molding broke in off but the rest was fine, so I just headed to the local junkyard and picked one up. They snap right off but there are pieces sticking out the the clips hang on.
