Mate who cares what anyone else thinks. Like everything some people will like it and some people wont. Same with body kits, mags, stereos etc etc. Everything you do. I think its a good idea chopping it. Gives a good idea of what it would look like. I played around one night and did a proper paint colour change of my car. Once I had it setup I could play around with any colour and PSP automatically balanced in light conditions etc so it looked authentic. Gave me a good idea of colours that i liked.
