I removed the factory 4" white rally stripes and white rocker stripes to get the car ready for the new 10" matte black stripes and matte rocker stripes. Well today i had the car buffed/polished to remove any imperfections the factory stripes may have left and now im liking the stripe less look.

Stripes tend to make the car look narrower than it really is.
Your car looks much cleaner without them and won't be the beacon of attention that it once was (law enforcement, kids, etc). I'd keep it clean and work on the stance, lowering it just a little from where it is now.
Regardless, nice ride.

Like it better without the stripes for sure.
Us infidels have to stick together.;-)
Looking forward to seeing it after your latest round of mods is installed.

you did that car good. stripes look like ass on all but a few cars.
I prefer stripes (some color combos more than others, obviously), but yours look clean as is.
Now you can trick unsuspecting ricers into thinking it's a V6! ;-)
I like them both ways but it does look really good without. May as well leave it. You can always add the black ones later

On the other hand, Sinultros' car looks great with the stripes. Maybe partly because his are wider?

Looks clean and sleeper stripe less.
I've always hated the striped on the GT500s. There's a local guy who has a DSGish(I don't know what they called it in 2014) GT500 without stripes that looks so damn perfect!
I prefer with wider stripes.
My question is this, on a car with a $55k+ price tag, why are the stripes vinyl and not painted on? So people can remove them if they want? I remember going to a Ford dealer and seeing several V6's with the vinyl peeling on brand new cars. If I paid that much for a GT500 and had trouble with the vinyl I'd go ape shit!

I'm a fan of the wider stripes, but stripe delete is it's own version of pure sex!
Was there any color variation in the paint after removing the stripes?
