Looks are subjective, and performance wise, I actually didn't lose too much in capability off road. Maybe an inch of ground clearance at the worst vs. a stock bike. I actually increased my rear suspension travel with the new shock and I still haven't bottomed out, so if anything, my bike is actually better off road now lol.
Plus, cutting and shaping foam is honestly a lot more work than removing the rear wheel and unbolting 2 bolts, swaping the shock out, and putting it back together.
I am not against cutting the seat foam though. Honestly, I don't think any modification would need to be done. So all of this can be addressed if/when it comes to it.
