Default Stripes or no stripes..

My wife and kids are telling me that I need to get racing stripes... What do you guys think? Also lookig at my mod list, when I add the S/C (Vortech) what will have to come off. I was told the CAI and pulleys. Anything else?? Thanks guys!!

no stripes. looks wise, cobra mirrors would set it off a bit. cobra/bullitt skirts if you can find any.

if you do the S/C, i'd pull off the intake/TB spacers. if one has a vacuum port (to use it for boost gauge) then i'd use that only but i dont think its gunna help a S/C any...

not sure how those cams would be with boost either...

It has to be one BAD ride to pull of stripes, and with the new cars coming with stripes factory their just not as cool as they used to be.
