its all about what floats yer boat really isint it. no matter what you do, someone is going to think it would look better if it were done differently - so its better that YOU like it.
personally im a bit precious about corollas, particularly older ones - and ruining the classic nature / look of the car with something like that strikes a nerve in me...
but its your car, so do what you want and forget what others say.
(but hide it
