any v6ers remove the ===MUSTANG=== stripe?
should i remove the stripe? im getting some paint work done thanks to a blind rentacar owner who crunched my front drivers side fender in a parking lot. long story but in the end i am gonna have the stripes removed for painting and im wondering if any v6ers think leaving the stripes off is a good move. i only noticed one vert who seemed to do this...

i took mine off first week. use a single edge razorblade to very carefully raise a corner on each piece.then pull the stripe back at 180 degree angle on itself to pull right off. it work best if the car has sat in the sun for a while. i then painted the black lower body panels the color of my body, satin silver. great effect.

I vote for you to take them off. To me they just muck up the looks of the Mustan'gs perfection 
. When I was looking to buy I was upset to see that the spoiler was alwys sold with that stripe. In the end I got a black one without the spoiler (or stripe) - it looks so much better than those with a stripe. And I'm not sure I'll add the spoiler - it just looks so good right now

i don't think the stripes completely mimic the older stripes, but i didn't like them then. i know it's a mustang so why have mustang there. i like that without the stripes, the car doesn't say mustang anywhere except the door entrys. i removed my spoiler, there was not a spoiler on the 65-66s. the louvers in the headlight buckets are very 65-66ish.

Possibly... but if you're having paint work done you shouldn't have anything to worry about. The dealer pulled my stripes off for free when I bought the car... didn't trust myself with a hairdryer and a razorblade.
