I'm with Jor and Mr. Vulgaris (sorry, forgot your name)... Yeah, it's just me but after so many years of holding these cars in a pretty poor light, (since jr. high school) I actually really embrace all the quirky 70's aspects of them, warts included. I have no interest in making any attempt to change the originality aspect of what was designed back then, ideal or not. They are what they are.

I really enjoy being asked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) is that thing?...so many folks haven't a clue. Probably 15-1 as far as knowing. Yeah, and here on Long Island, there's quite a few P car drivers that also do not recognize the most fun, affordable model of the marque ever made.

But again, that's just me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They're ugly- why they're referred to as warts. Unless you want it all original shave them off. I'd like to remove them from my creamsicle, but of course that's a no no.

Of all the things on these cars, I couldn't give a rat's ass either way.

I agree with most ... if you're trying to restore back to factory original, keep 'em. Otherwise, lop off those ugly warts. They've always seemed like an after thought anyway.

A kind of Bladerunner,or Tron effect,or a simple colored stripe.

Every time this topic comes up, the results are the same. The majority prefer the clean look without the warts (myself included). Some like them for originality (although it was a US only thing). Some replace the warts with more modern lower-profile markers (and often move them back behind the wheel) as seen below.

Bottom line is, it's purely a matter of personal preference. You should do what you like best on your car.

+1. The whole topic has been beaten to death.

I don't like the look of them, but I plan to use mine as a DD and am conscious of driving a small car among mostly SUVs and PUs. I am not going to do anything to make my car LESS visible. My car will be mostly converted to LED lighting, so I am thinking of some low profile LED option.

I wonder how hard it would be to get a 924 light mounted in the same spot?

I left mine for US spec, but I took the lens and shaved it down to about half of its depth for less of a wart! Look
