Also, to quote an 80's SNL skit of Tammy Fay, "Demonic Raisins I rebuke you!!"
Paraphrased from wikipedia: SNL moments from the Church Lady :
Another classic moment was when she interviewed Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker (played by Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks) at the height of the sex scandal involving Bakker and Jessica Hahn. During the show the televangelists begged for donations and a mascara dripping Tammy Faye recounted her experience with “demonic raisins”.

Yeah, adding stripes kind of takes away from the authenticity of a Saleen. The car in the picture reminds me more of a Shelby than it does a Saleen. I say ban the stripes from Saleens! Just kidding! It's your ride, and it's your style. But me personally, two thumbs all the way down!

Oh, I almost forgot...Amy, if you don't know about this yet, here is a really helpful tool for you if you are considering stripes. You can configure every color and type of stripe, and the color and resolution are great, it's pretty clever:

Good luck.
Thanks for the link Bob D! Great one!´
However, I'd still love to see some pics of your silver Saleen with the stripes (front , side and rear) if you have any and don't mind posting them.
A standard GT does not quite look like a Saleen... ) I have an 05 Silver Satin myself

I know that some purists don't like the idea of stripes, but I can't tell you how much better I think the car looks since I added them, and how positive the reaction has been from other "car guys."
I'll try to take some pics and post them soon, I need some decent pics of the car anyway.

I can say that I love the way the stripes look. Someone did post them a while ago on a silver Saleen. However, as much as I know I like the look better, I also would not do it. It is a Saleen, and they are extremely rare where I live. I do not want any confusion. Also, as Jazzer said, there will be some changes with the paint after the stripes are on there for an extended period. If you ever sell, you may just have to leave them on. Does look amazing though!

I am a terrible photographer, but here is a shot of my renegade striped Saleen.
I do not want to start a debate with those who don't like stripes on these cars, just posting for those who asked for pics.
These are classic Le Mans stripes that go back to Briggs Cunningham in the '50s and have been used on lots of cars since. FWIW, I like them so much that when I brought the car back to SSV in Troy after a year to have it morphed from an S281 into a S281SC, I kept the original S281 hood (the stripes did not work, at least at the spacing I liked, on the vented SC hood). 
One thing I like about these stripes is that they stop before the bumpers; IMO stripes over bumpers would not work well on a Saleen--but whatever rocks your boat!
