Default give my new shocks the boot?

well the fedex website says i should get my teraflex bb and shocks tomorrow! i had ordered new shock boots as well from rc as the teraflex shocks have none.after a little research i found they wont fit properly on the shocks anyway and teraflex doesnt offer them. after googling this i understand teraflex does not recommend running boots at all. aside from aesthetics what do you more experienced off roaders think ?i think shocks look cool without them and plan on running them that way unless more experienced members think it is unwise

Shock boots are an 80's style thing, we found out back then all they did was keep crud in ,rust the chromo rods an f'up the seals.

I'd been hearing about them holding crud and decided to cut off the ones on my Bilsteins. There was enough crap in them to make me glad I did.
