OK I'm really serious this time...
I've contemplated taking off my RS gfx kit for a while, but I think I'm pretty serious this time. It has become faded (due to the previous owner not taking very good care of it) and looks a bit off (yes, i'm a damn perfectionist) from the rest of the car's paint which I keep up well. More and more I am liking the clean lines of a camaro without any kits on them. Plus, I hate having to worry about scraping it due to the car being lowered. I know there will be holes left but what I'm wondering is if they'll actually be visible enough for me to care. If anyone has pics of their cars after they removed em, that would be great too. Just give me some feedback on this (other than the usual "leave them on b/c it'll leave holes" response). I'm also entertaining the option of just getting it repainted so that it looks better, but who knows.
By the way, here's the link to some pics of the car:

Man mine looks faded too, its like it doesnt have much of a clearcoat on it and i freakin hate it but the rub marks from where you take it off are going to look bad, thats why i just stick with it as much as i hate it.

Golden Bird - that could def be a possibility that there just isn't enough contrast on the front of the car. I was actually thinking about getting the inilet holes of the grill painted black to switch it up a bit. I think that may look a bit better.

just take em off and repaint em. gfx are fairly easy to paint, and it'd be a great way for you to learn if you dont know how to yet.

also, a body colored grill (or just removing the black piece) would really set off your gfx.

I think if you took off the molding (very easy to do), it would clean things up alot there and would let the side skirts flow alot better with the rest of the body. But, I wouldn't take them off. They give the car a different look then the everyday camaro. My .02!!!
