Chicklets or NO Chicklets
I'm kind of on the fence about removing my Chicklets so I was wondering...how many of you like them and how many of you have removed them??

What's the downside to removing them? You'll forget you're driving a GM vehicle?

You left out this choice:
Don't really care for them that much, but the Vette came from the factory with them so I left them on anyway.

Gone! The most pointless and unattractive thing GM could have done ... donate 'em to Buick.

What is the best method for removing them? I have 'em on my '08 Coupe I just got a few days ago.

Dental floss if you can't "slowly" pull them off.

Dental floss.
Chicklets should be removed as that is a statutory crime. Chiclets on the other hand can be left on for the purist or taken off for a custom look.

In a corner of the delivery area at the Corvette Museum sits a small recycle bin.

I like mine and would not remove them, seems more trouble than it is worth. When I look at my car I do not see the chicklets first. You will get lots of guys who hate them though.
Long live chicklets

I'm pretty sure GM could put that wasted $ elsewhere!
