Default Rocker panels, leave 'em off??

I removed my lower rocker panels to replace my rear torsion bars. I kind of like it like that! Cleaner looking. Does anyone leave them off? What about the exposed pipes on the passenger side? This is a street/fun car, may do DE at some point. It's a 1982SC. Thanks.

Looks right on a longhood, but on an SC...guess it would be your car your preference.

What the heck is a "longhood"? Should I put stainless steep hoses in? I don't think I'd tear anything off there, but they do look exposed.

Yeah...that "longhood" sure is perty. I still think my SC looks better without them. The hoses?

Leave the lines exposed. Looks like more of a raw, stripped down, race car that way. I love the look of the two hard lines running along the outside of the car...
