Finally got my 2014 Shelby. Stripes or No Stripes?

After my originally custom order being cancelled on me by one of my local Fords, I did not think I might be getting a Shelby anymore. Then I found one exactly that had everything I wanted in another state, minus the red stripes. So I decided to purchase it. Once I worked out a deal with that dealer, it took about 5 weeks to get to because they hadn't even received the car yet. I just got it on Monday evening delivered directly to my house.

I want to get a quick poll. I originally wanted an all white one. Now that I have have been the car in person I don't mind the red stripes down the center. However I am seriously think about removing the side stripes, the sides stripes to me look a little cheesy and take away from the car because I like the more cleaner look. However, I would like to see what other people think in case I am being to analytical about it. Thanks

Also on a side note, the pro shaker audio system does not sound as good as the Shaker 1000. My wife has a shaker 1000 in her 2012 and the sub woofers hit way more clean and at least 3x as hard and the treble gets louder. I wonder why ford would have downgraded the system on the 13-14 mustangs.

I personally would leave the stripes on the car. The white looks awesome with the red stripes and removing them would make the car look too plain.

The issue with no stripes is that from a distance it just looks like a GT. My friend has a GT500 with stripe delete and from a far it looks plain.

Looks great both ways, but I prefer the stripes!! I will keep an eye out for you in the valley, I am on the west side!

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone. I think I won't make quick decision on the stripes and keep them on for the time being. They have grown on me since I got the car.

Red stripes look awesome on every color for which they're available. I haven't seen one red striped car that I didn't like. Definitely keep them!

I agree with most KEEP THE STRIPES....red stripes rule!! but I have seen a lot of clean white stripe delete cars on here...if you take them off and decide later to replace them or if you sell it and the buyer wants them back on they are pricey....keep em'
