   depends some people hate the smooth boot look, others love them, it all comes down to personal taste, I have mine smoothed and love it and I think they look really good, but I also have all bump strips smoothed out

    is that your car in your avatar,it looks smart tbh,plus i think once you get the boot smoothed,the bodykit finishes it off,or it looks odd.

    cant nock a smoothed boot with a vtr kit, not fan of bodykits, but with a few other subtle mods like lowering and vts wheels looks great, wt u think
