the last choice resides with you, but i love my stripes. i think it accents the color of the car, because it isn't overbearing.

Oh... and my last word of advice....
Get rid of the dealer sticker!

Your car is beautiful,but its your decision. I'm having the same problem with my SIM. Right now she is bare and that is the way I wanted it. But I like the hockey stripes also in cyber gray. Maybe just the hood. I don't know. Good luck.

I say keep the stripes, they are a gift. God wanted you to have them or else he would not have had them installed on your car. Except his gift...my child.

Ahhh, this answer so far was the most
Relieving one I've heard, not that it hadn't crossed
My mind before, but you said it well.

Hmmm it's still hard, because it's new and I
Am going to still take time to fully accept
The stripes, but they do look good, I just
Was very torn as to waiting or starting the
Process sooner.

It already has plenty of 'blemishes' not by my doing,
But it's really not in the budget to address the
Paint for awhile I imagine. :(

At least the stripes are not over the entirety of the
Car, so when I do remove them, only 2 surfaces initially
Will need to be repainted. What do you guys think
Something like that would run cost-wise?
Repellency the whole car would cost a pretty penny
I Could assume. Boooo.
