I agree with everyone on not removing the stripes. Your a CS owner for gawd sake, be proud of it! lol
Just be unique with your car. We all here have CS's in this thread, for the most part at least, and all of ours look different in some way or another. Make you the car "yours". New wheels would be my first choice.
Plus the side stripe is no doubt part of our car's history!
Keep the stripe, they look killer. If you want to make it look different than the other one around you, add some matte black somewhere else. It'll tie in, and looks killer. Rear blackout, or wing perhaps?
