+1, IMO side stripes clutter the lines of the car.

I thought I liked my rocker stripe. Then I bit the bullet and pulled them off. So glad I did. Much cleaner look. Just my .02, probally not even worth that.

IMO, removing the side stripes will make your car looks 300x better!

I was a little worried about the fresh paint coming off with it - especially where they overlap the door edges and stuff. It sounds like you guys have experience of removal though so you've put my mind at rest. Again, thanks for your input.

you shouldn't have any problem with paint coming off. Let the car sit in the sun for awhile and it will make the job easier. You can also use a hair dryer or heat gun.

They look like the Alcoa super snake wheels, which are not cheap.
