I'd leave them on, they add a nice touch.

If you haven't already read this thread http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=322139 you might want to before removing the stripes, if it was me I'd like to know the solution to his problem first. JMO

I just removed my silver rally stripes in order to have black ones put on. I have a RY 2012 and although slight, there was noticable discoloration in the surrounding paint. I used a cleaner wax on the trunk and hood to clean up the paint a little and while it is a little better, it is still noticable.
