Pinstripes.....keep or not to keep?

Im about to have some body work done on my IP sedan, and they will have to paint the hood and blend in the fenders. So now im left at paying a $100 to have them repaint the pinstripes on, or strip them off the whole car together. Feel free to chime in with your .02 cents!

This is currently what they look like:

hahahahah you two

I only know of 2 people on this board (myself included) that like our pinstripes. However I voted to keep them before I read that it would cost an extra $100 so I retract my keep them vote.

OP where in Texas are you?

Alright im taking them off FTW!

After I get this bodywork done, I hope to do a drop/wheels, leaning more towards a staggered setup. Ive had the car a little over a year but really haven't messed with it much except an intake and coupe mid-pipe. This past weekend I finally changed my leaking valve cover gaskets and spark plugs. Then this weekend im doing a projector retrofit!

I was also looking into doing the roof overlay with 3M's carbon fiber vinyl. Has anyone had the experience of using it yet? How do you think it will look?

>Blue Dream im down here in Houston.

I wish someone would remove mine for $100 - They're fine on a stock car, but once you start modding its like a remnant of the grocery getter days.
