Okay, so I've asked this question already, but this time I brought pictures. Quickly recapping, I had stock GT Premium wheels put on my black V6 coupe. Now I'm trying to decide whether I should have the tape stripe removed. I was able to find a picture of a photo manipped GT without the stripe (obviously) and a pic of the V6 with GT wheels and the tape stripe included.

The decision must be made by Monday since I'm scheduled to visit my dealer at that point. Please please please help me make my decision guys...thanks!!!

I'd vote "without", the stripes somehow seem to reduce the Darth Vader-like intimidating look of the '05 in black.

Also, don't let your dealer charge you for de-striping if you go that way. The stripes peel off very easily if the cars hot from being in the sun. Did mine in about three minutes flat.

Yep, it's looks a whole lot meaner without the strip.....PULL IT OFF

My car is black and I removed the stripe. Looks much better without it.

Hi Jay,
Are you planning upon buying the GT Emblems (sides & rear) to add to your V6?
The manipulated photo shown here (hiding the Fog Light of the stock GT) does look pretty well as a "V6 with GT Emblems":

The emblems (just a stock Ford item) are found here:

Just curious; Brian.
P.S. OK, OK, I admit it! I am trying to make the V6 that I have ordered look like a GT. I did order the Emblems for myself, although my 2006 V6 won't arrive for at least two more months. Should I be ashamed of having only six cylinders? Will others humiliate me? How can I tell my friends and family? Oh well. :bang:

Kill the stripe it ruins the lines of the car.
