Debating between choices

Ok so I have these annoying painted pinstripes (yellow on OB ). Now I have a few options to do, and I need some help deciding.

1. Take off the pinstripe and leave an impression ($150)

2. Put a Black pinstripe (vinyl) OVER the yellow one to try to blend it in ($150+)

3. Leave it as is (0$).


I dislike the pinstripe because it makes the car look old and less sleek. What should I do?

Take off and go see a good detailer they should be able to get it out.

It is probably a sticker, get that off, try it yourself first, but make sure you don't **** up the paint.
