Heres a real picture, and a quick photoshop of what they would look like without them. I cant determine if they look good or not...just drop some opinions. Anything will be appreciated. (I Cant think on my own)

If you keep them, I'd get double black racing stripes with 1/4" pins.

I love both ways - you gt very diff. looks....

I think I like it better w/out them. Its not so much the stripe, but the design of the stripe w/ the M U S T A N G in there looks too busy to me.....

All good points. See I kindof like the uncluttered clean sleek look w/o them, but also like them because the add some contrast on the side of the car.

ARGH WUT DO I DO!!!

If the decision is that hard, then just leave them on and save the work and worry! Or...choose a different strip design.....

My vote is take them off while you can. Over time the vinyl gets messed up, start to come loose on the edges, etc.

I like it with them on. I wish I had them on my 07 Vista Blue Mustang. Getting white stripes put on FRIDAY the 8th. I wonder how the Vista Blue would look with white rocker panels?

Because you have that GT500 rear bumper (I'm so envious), I think the lines would look better with the stripes off and just let the black wrap itself around the car via rocker panel and rear bumper.
