Racing stripes or no racing stripes?

]Good afternoon kind folk, today I need to recruit the expert advice from you. In a couple weeks I will be going home for block leave, where my fire breathing ls3 will be awakened from its slumber. Lol I cant decide whether or not I want to take off my racing stripes. When I originally bought the car I was going to take them off, but since then they have grown on me. I also plan to powdercoat my nuremburgs gloss black so pretend that is already done and tell me whether you would leave the racing stripes on or not. Thanks

I blacked out myself in the photo and did a terrible job lol

Gosh this such a hard decision. I feel with them off the car would look cleaner and more distinct but i dont want to pull them off and regret it later....

I like them.

You could always wrap the hood flat black, carbon fiber or red and see how you feel about it, so you can experience without regrets....

Stripes off. Car looks so much cleaner without them. The only vinyl on my car is on the bowties, blacking out the gold.

Lol no, but i like my privacy. Posting pictures of myself and the vehicle I drive is a pretty easy way to be profiled. People on these forums always complain about their cars being stolen. Well it might be because on forums they post where they live, how they store their car, how often they drive it, the cars mods and possible security systems, and places they will be taking the car, etc. It makes it pretty easy to steal a car if i was thief. I know i sound paranoid lol but when you have such a nice car i would rather be as safe as possible, especially since the military makes it so that i am not always with my car...

Looks like my old SS, down to the wheels! Personally, I like the stripes, but I am biased.

I vote keep the rally stripes. Or if you must change them, replace them with black stripes.

I vote keep them on....that colour with white stripes really pops.......dont black out anything. Black is so overdone it's out of control. It's auctually nice to see a car without any black. And im not sure what people are smoking but the car just looks plain without something to make it pop....and those stripes do just that.
