either leave them in (best option), or take them out (only problem with this is that the bolt inlets will be visible and stick out. DONT paint them, that will look tacky and cheap IMO

Stainless looks really nice.

Unless you're going the blue/black route. Then I'd say leave them stock.

I have blue and black with stainless and I think it works fine, but what another person says that having everything stainless completes the package.
