Default !side skirts

hey i am debating on removing the side skirts on my 00 WS6, tell me what you think.. The reason i am doing this is because my other 1 was damaged and they are too expensive to remove, the body shop guy said he has a way to cover up the holes... if anyone has pics please post them.

IDK, I personaly hate body kits, even OEM ones, they look trashy.. But as far as the TA and WS6 are concerned, I like the way they come stock...

Unless you want to complete it with a formy front nose and rear, I'd leave it alone ( pretty sure you couldn't afford the whole formy conversion, as you can't even aford a side skirt lol )

Removing side skirts is like putting a Z28 hood on an SS.
