They didn't appear to be when I first saw it in person at the show, although I didn't check to see if there were screws to remove or anything like that.  I do have an early picture that doesn't have the protectors, so it's a possibility.  I'll have to check into that.  To be honest, I thought the amp looked better with them, but I can see the desire to not hide the glow, especially in the dark.
