Default what do you guys think???

Ok, from the photos you see I did the blk stripes up and down the car. yesterday it rained and the water spots where so bad they would not come off with wax/polish! So I took them off and I think now I like it better without the stripes and hood scoop. The hood scoop I spent about $250 to have it sprayed matte blk and it looks real nice! Anyway I might just leave it off, but wanted some input???? If I do not reinstall the scoop I will be selling it. Thanks Dan
the first photo with stripes and scoop.
the 2nd without all
the 3rd just with the scoop.

I've always been a fan of your car, Dan. I liked it best the way it was. With your scoops and vents and overall look, the stripes complimented them well, IMO. Your car stood out to me in a crowd and without the stripes/scoop, I wouldn't notice it in a line of mustangs. Again, JMO, I'm sure they'll be others. But definitely the stripes and scoop back on for me.

I still have the side window louvers and lower scoops and the cervini's side exhaust just took off the hood scoop and the stripes. I make the stripes my self along with my partner so re doining them is no problem. If I do I might go with a blue like the old GT350(silver/blue) combo. Also thanks for you ++ feedback=)

My 2 cents worth....Put the stripes back on, but this time, Paint 'em on! Now they wont water spot any worse than the rest of the car. [Put the scoop back, too.]

The exhaust is VERY cool. Very sharp. I do like the hood scoop and stripes though. I think it balances the car a bit. You need that extra black north of the center line. But I'd say go back to vinyl though. Why paint? If you change your mind you can start all over again. Paint jobs aren't quite so forgiving.

BTW. If you decide you don't want the scoop, can you give me a deal???
