I guess that all depends on whether you ever plan on lugging shit around on her head... If you will never use the racks and don't like the way they look, then stand them puppies up in the back of a closet.

I will never use the racks, they are just up there and fading and just like the other mods a matter of personal taste, but I still have the rack stored in my garage if I decide I need them. This is a simple non destructive mod that is easily reversed.

Its a SAV/SUV not a car, suppose to look rugged. But hey whatever floats your boat.
