Default Keep or Lose GFX?

I'm having a hard time deciding if I really wanna take off my GFX. I'm always hitting them on stuff due to the car being so low and they do have quite a few dents and scratches. At some angles I like the look and at other's I don't, basically I'm just looking for a little confirmation from the crowd that I'll be happy with the look once it's done lol.

Camaros are too plain stock. With no scoop on the hood, no custom paint, and no aftermarket wheels, I say keep the GFX.

People on this site hate them 3-1. And, they dno't just dislike them, they like to throw insluts at you for even thinking about having them on your car. I got warned about it in one of my first posts.

I love 'em. Wouldn't have a Camaro without them. They came on your car factory, so leave them on, I say.

One of the main reasons I'm considering getting rid of them is because they are really beaten up from bottoming out and stuff like that, it's pretty hard to avoid most of the time. But for some reason it looks like something might be wrong with my fenders so I'm not exactly sure what is going on... I'm gonna take them off tonight and take a look then decide from there, thanks for the opinons... keep um coming!!!

Ahh, that would explain why half of the trucks around here have euro lights, and all the civics have graphics. Makes sense, but still doesn't make the car look any better. I say lose em'!

I agree that black does look the best because you can't see the uneven lines as well... the lines breakup the smoothness of the Camaro. I would considering keeping mine still I just think it would look better and cleaner if I took them off and lowered the car.
