Default To keep my stripes or loose em?

Well got my stripes on my car however not sure if I want to keep them. Personaly I think they look good however they are a bit of a magnet for trouble. They haven't been on long so I shouldn't have problems with discoloration. Also I'm thinkng that black stipes with the silver out line would look better. What do you think?
No Stripe


With a Stripe


I'm also debating getting the car 2 toned with black on top.

I think the decals on the side make the stripe look like to much. I do like the stripe though.

I have a mixed opinion...so many people have done it but the colors go nicely with the color of your car. I would say keep it!

Um, i think the decals are more of a magnet for trouble than the stripe...but...
lose the stripe along with the decals...that is of course unless those companies actually sponsor you...
but if they don't, there's no need to have them

I'm gonna have to agree, the stripe is not the problem, its the decals that make it look over the top as far as attracting trouble. You shouldent have a problem with a muted color stripe like that....

Not as bad as I thought. I'm thinking keep but I wonder if they'd look better in black or carbon fiber vinyl.

Nah, these are primax 006 rims in graphite.

Thanks for all the replies. When i get my car back {tuning & custom intercooler} i'll try to get rid of the decals. Hopefully it won't be to bad with the fade. I'm probably gonna have it repainted soon. Got a few scratches all around the car. Yeah crazy for the repaint but BCP is awesome when paint is perfect. You can't really tell from the pics but the grey color is outlined ultra silver. Went this rout to kind of go with the color of the rims and it goes well with BCP. Tinkerd with the idea of doing it black with the silver outline but to many people do there stripes in black.
