Depends entirely on the rest of the car....post a pic up :wink:

It's also worth noting that the arches hide all kinds of demons, be prepared to find your wings in a bit of a state if you've not had them off before :undecided:

Personally prefer them on. I like the break up they give to the car.

I just need to hurry up and glue them back on
