What should I do?

Ok so here is the deal. After seeing the green mile in person at Good Guys, it got me thinking.  As far as my Rivi goes, Should I restore it to original like I planned or bag it and leave it looking rough?

Heres the car.

I would leave it sitting stock but paint it and throw on some 17"s or something.  It would look sinister in black.

no joke on the invincible thing. the reson the front bumper is missing is becouse when my grandpa had it, he hit a towncar who ran a red light. took the front of the towny off, and just bent up the front bumper on the rivi, hell the hood gaps are still perfect! lol

Restore.

Too original, too much history, too much to hack up.

Bags are nice but its just too nice to destory IMO
