Default Headlight Covers? Yay or Nay

Hey guys, the previous owners gave me these covers when I bought the car, but they didn't fit well enough so I never put them on. Today I was bored so I tried them on and if I decide to keep them I'll just fix them and make 'em flush.

What do you think, should I keep them on?

Automatic No.
Too tacky in my opinion, whenever I see someone with those on I just start laughing and saying wow.

But otherwise I love your car!

I say yes because it smooths out the front end.

headlight covers were cool in the early 90's, trends change.

I say yes but take those white stickers off and they will look ALOT better. Get some side marker blackouts too! Just my 0.2 cents.

Thanks,
