Default Contemplating removing ground effects

Like it says I have been thinking about removing the ground effects

The car was hit by some road debri and destroyed the front bumper and one rocker panel. I already was cut the check from insurance and waiting till the 7th before it goes into the shop.

I just haven't decided if I want to remove the rest of the kit.

For those that have done it anyone have a close up of the rocker after removal.

What do you guys think. I do like the clean look of the no gfx.

Cost I'm hoping it would be the same as repair and repainting a used rocker and front gfx






Here is the car before

Guess once the snow is off the drive way I will remove the damaged rocker and see how bad it looks under there

I was leaning towards removal as well.
