Default side stripe or no side stripe?

I was thinking either of removing it or removing it and getting it painted on there....not sure of which to do or just leave it on there.

There was one on my GT when I bought it and although it was applied by the dealer and not factory I like it. Looks good with my stripes. I think yours looks fine...I'd keep it, but again, I'm biased!

Definitely remove it and leave it off. Your car will look smooth!

I usually don't like side stripes but they looks good with your black accents, I'm not sure if your would look quite as nice without it.

Agreed. 9 times out of 10 I'd say take em off but I kinda like em on your car with your color scheme. I'd definitely do some black hood spears though

Problem is where the hood spears would go there is pinstriped flames...

Conflicting opinions here! What about the thought of removing it and having it painted gloss black or something to that nature?

I would normally say remove it, but it looks great with your black wheels.

I just can't stand the matte black look. I would rather it be painted on there gloss black.

Or, you could just take that stripe off and then do something completely custom.....Just play around with stripes and stuff on the side of your car and see what you like best.....That is what I did....I wanted something different so I started drawing and seeing what what look good and then I drew my stripes on the my car and BAM....just like that I knew that was it when I saw them on the car....just get creative
