Stripes or no Stripes?

I'm on the fence about removing the stripe on my car. What do you guys think?

Remove it! I think it takes away from the beauty of the car.

Pull it and go with something to make it your own. Either rally stripes or something creative.. just my .02

If your going to remove them, I'd wait for a warmer day around 75 to 80 degrees, the vinyl will come off easier with a heat gun or hair dryer in warmer temps. There will be some adhesive residue left. A microfiber cutting pad makes quick work of it. Sorry the car in this video is a Mustang, it sounds pretty good though!

And they are gone. They came off so easy with a heat gun I was rather shocked.

I agree. Special edition stripe for the last of the gen 5. I would keep it, especially with that color combo.

Much better, cleaner look without the stripes, in my opinion.
Now ditch that front plate!
