As most of you know I have the boss 2013 style stripes on my car right now, and have for a while. Here lately I have debated taking them off and going back to a more clean look. I will still keep the black wheels but will take off the stripes and plastidip off my wing so it will be blue again. what are y'alls opinion, Keep the stripes or take them off.

I don't know. I love the look of your car right now. The only thing I think would look just as good would be something like what Shane has on his car. Something subtle, but you can tell it's there.

What about a Roush style side stripe?

I vote for off, DIB looks good on its own.

meh not much a fan of the Rosh side hash mark looking things. I do like the RTR style stripes that Shane has but half the reason I'm thinking about taking them off is so my paint doesnt fade differently and adding other stripes would defeat that.

I like it without stripes personally - but looks badass either way.

I think it looks clean as hell without the stripes.

Your car doesn't stay out in the sun/weather all the time, so that shouldn't be a big issue.

If you were to take it off, I think it would look kind of bland because there won't be much to tie in the black wheels with the blue like the stripe does now.

Agreed. Looks much cleaner and less boy racer without the stripes.

I am partial to the clean look myself, but if I were doing it I would roll with the opposite of the trams am colors
Blue with White stripes.

Think this just opposite

Awesome adults on a forum > kids on Facebook.


Seriously though, it looks clean without it.

One reason I'd say take them off (personally) is those particular stripes make it look like something it's not. There are plenty of ways to blend matte and DIB without Boss stripes.

Without. I've never been a fan of huge stripes personally. Looks much better without.

Keep them! I am a clean solid look type of guy but I think it gives your car of a more unique look. Like you said you liked the idea that the boss color never came in DIB so I think it was within great taste to do it. The stripes also tie into you car very well with the black wheels, etc. Its not like you just threw them on there. I can easily see you planned it out.

keep them. its more personalized with them on as i would say the majority of people are rolling around without them. I mean it will look good either way, but if fading is a real issue than maybe let the be the deciding factor.

but stripes are sexy http://www.bigwormgraphix.net/images/mustang/2013-gt-grn-matte-blk-full-pin-lrg.jpg

i want these on my white... i dont think fading is a real issue with white though
