Default Ditching the stripes?

Well, keep em or ditch em. They are flat black and do break up some of the white. I have been getting a little sick of looking at em tho. I kinda like the cleaner look tho.

Take them off, and leave the door blank.
Are your side skirts a different color than the rest of your car?

Must be the lighting in the pic. The different angles put shadow in weird places especially in crappy lighting. Its in a closed garage. All the plastic stuff matches perfectly in real life.

Yea, its the lighting. I think most are saying to keep em cause its photoshopped. It would look so great with no stipes.

I am not sure about this one because the stripes fill in the door area. But they look like a Saleen spin-off.

i dont like where it says mustang gt on the side but i do like the stripes. i've posted this a couple times, i think they look good and you should leave them. if you do anything just take off the "mustang gt".

I think that you should leave the car exactly how it is. This gives your car personality.
