I pulled the ones off of the hood already and am toying with removing the side stripes myself.

I love the clean look on a black car and the stripes don't play into my future theme of Black and Emerald Green.

It would be the first thing I would do to it when I got it home, or else have the dealer remove them before delivery.

I appreciate all the feedback! Question: if i leave them on for now and decide to take them off down the road is it likely there will be a noticeable difference in the paint job?

i would change them out to flat black and keep the gt/cs. if the stripes stay on very long, they will be noticable when removed

Definitely keep them.

If resale value is your primary criteria, bone stock is the way to go. RThe average buyer wants a good example of a Mustang. If it is custom, you have to sell them on that, too.

If you are keeping the car for a while, make it the way you want. It is your car, do what makes you happy!

I hope this is useful

I have a 2011 GT/CS. Race red and I removed the stripe and added the 5.0 badges. I think it looks much better.

Stripes are to make a fat person thin - they make the Mustang thinner.
I'm old school 70's Mach1, I like the fat look so I'd take them off and unless you're going to keep it in a sealed chamber for 30 yrs and not change anything yeah it will reduce your resale value. But I want the fat look.

I'd remove them, I think it wIuld look way cleaner without them. Btw car looks great!
