Should I Add LeMans Stripes
Initially when I started this project I had intended to add the LeMans stripes, but then once I started seeing every car with the stripes I decided not to add them just so I'd be different. Hoever, now that the basic look of the car has been done for almost two years and I'm starting to think about adding the stripes again. So I thougth I'd ask for your feedback to see what your opinions are. The attached pictures are from a photo shoot in June 2006 and are prior to my adding the retro mirrors and suspension package.
Of course it should go without saying, please offer your feedback in a courteous manner and don't flame me for building what the factory won't (i.e. a GT-350). Thanks.

First let me say your car looks great. My opinion is to leave it. With what you've got the stripes might put it over the top a little visually. I don't think it would look bad though.
I'm kinda in the same place right now. My stripes were damaged and had to come off. Now I look at my car clean and think it might stay that way. Still haven't made up my mind. Anyway, go with your heart, but I think it looks great now.

I like your car as it is. Put the money towards a short anntena! 
How long were your stripes on? Any ghosting noticeable? I'm thinking to remove my stripes somewhere along the line when I get sick of them.

Well, I've posted this question on two different boards (here adn the Team Shelby sight) and so far I have two votes for striping it and about a dozen for leaving it alone. It looks like the 'nay' votes have a substantial lead but I'll leave this poll up for a week just to make sure I have given everybody an opportunity to voice an opinion.
