Going for the Cal-look, he, Don? I have no experience with such action,
but I'd be surprised if there are any consequences: it's just a shallow
groove. However, you may find it difficult to replace the strips with new
ones (maybe aftermarket, maybe aluminum instead of plastic), once the old
ones are out.
