Roof rails. Do we like the look?

I have been trying to picture the X7 without them and can’t help but feel that it would make the car lines look a lot cleaner. Anyone try this?

I have looked up all the threads of roof rail removal etc. Most are of older X3/X5s. Anyone do this to the X7? Same process?

The X7 is so tall that I can barely notice the roof rails at all, surely most SUV's and cars on the road can't see them either.

And if ever you have 6 (Captain's) or 7 (Bench) passengers for a trip requiring baggage you're going to need a cargo box anyway, wouldn't be very wise to eliminate that eventuality.

I think it would look better. But, Americans might think they driving a station wagon without the roof rails. We cant have that. Lol
