Default PP Side Stripes. Ugly or Goodlooking?

I debating on whether to take off my white Side stripes or continue to keep them on. I have a Black Stang with the white side stripes. I see these Black GT's with no side stripes and they look fine without them BUT once I remove them thats it for that. Do people really like the side stripes? Does it really enhance the look or is too "Girly"? I'm a guy BTW...

I'm think the stripes look great. If I had colored rocker panels I would take mine off, but I think with the black plastic rockers the side stripes are fine. My Mustang is white with black stripes, and I absolutely wouldn't even think of taking the stripes off. It's a very nice finishing touch for the side of the car, in my opinion.

I've actually had people specifically mention how good they thought the side stripes looked. I'd say keep 'em.

It's all a matter of personal taste. I like mine and don't intend to remove them - but I've seen a lot of black Mustangs without them and they look great too.

If you take them off and decide that you liked it better with something on the sides, you can always put on what you like. That's what I did and here's the steps it went through.




And this is what she has on her now.

I took mine off wanting to put another style on, now that they're off, I like it better that way. My friends have told me the car looks "classier" now. Thing is, if you remove them and change your mind later, they are only a few bucks on ebay.

I like the side strips on. Black is probably the color that looks the best w/o them, at least to my eye., so you can't go wrong either way.
raubt's point about the color of the rocker panel's affect on the overall look plays into it as well.
