    alot of ppl take it off cause its cheaper and they can do it themselves others get it colour coded which i think is better because it breaks up the car a little

    it looks much better taken off, but it is a very long and tedious procedure, it takes ages getting the glue off, but with a well deserved finish.

    get a quote for getting them colour coded and if no to expensive do that, especially if you arnt patient and wiling to put in the huge effort.
