I've learned to like them....JMO, I think it adds to the overall appearance

 

depends on hood manufacturer, you may not have a choice in the matter. i would test fit the hood and see how it does going down the road. my aftermarket hood was so bad i did not have a choice. you dont want the fiberglass breaking and the whole hood poping up into your windsheild.

i didnt want them at first either,but now i really like them alot. makes it look like the bad kid on the block!
