Default Sharkfin preferred or not? Curious to see what you all say

I know the 06 has no sharkfin and the 07 does. What do you think looks better?

Without looks better to me, but I'll always prefer the newer car...

It's your car. You can do whatever you want... (except not put on a front license plate)... but why would you take off the only distinguishing thing on the outside between the 06 and 07? Plus, is it that bad that you'd go through the trouble of taking it off and filling in the hole?

i don't like it close up but when i see people drive by with it it looks pretty good. THe weird thing is that I see more 07 than 06 on the road?!?! weird.

I like it, but since I have an '06, I'll settle for not having it. I wouldn't go out drilling a hole in the roof of my car just to put one on.

I dont really care, I dont usually look at that thing. Actually, when I was at the dealership, I saw an 07 IS get dropped off for service, the first thing I looked at was the shark fin.
