To stripe or not to stripe: that is the question.

I have attached a photo of my white 14 convertible and a white coupe with the Super Snake stripes. I like the stripes on the coupe but I don't know about a convertible. Thoughts?

I agree. You can see by my signature that I like stripes but convertibles ought to be "clean". Well, maybe rocker panel stripes but that's it. Just my opinion, of course.

Are you going to do painted or taped stripes?

Stripes

Thank you for your responses. As of last Saturday it
is put up for the winter so I don't have to decide for a
while. If I do I would tape it just in case I do not like it.
There is something to be said for that "clean look".

I like the stripes. I felt that my car was way too white.I had a local sign company put vinyl on mine, that way I could take them off if I wanted to

I had charcoal gray metallic stripes on my black '06 GT and they looked good. To be honest, I did get sick of them and missed the clean look. It's just a matter of opinion and whether you want the car to attract more attention or not.

I would definitely do it, I think it only adds to the look.

The Supersnakes' stripes are bad ***, pretty much everything about that car is. The same style stripes on your car would look great. Just don't get flamed by the SuperSnake guys for having the SuperSnake stripes.
