Default should i fit bumper overriders to my s1

do you think series 1 are better with bumper overriders or without

i think the front looks better without them but i think the back will look better with them so should i just fit all 4 or just the rear 2 or none at all

what do you all think

Mine did'nt have any when i got her and i did a poll on here. It was an overwhelming yes to front and back. Mine now has them and i must admit it does look better. Only my opinion though
