Can't order rocker stripes only

Gone is the day you could order over the top stripes, or delete and go with rocker only. I've just ordered a GT500 in black, and I like the sleeper look. I went with stripe delete, because even with black satin stripes, stripe delete is more toned down. I also went with glass roof, and I don't think lack of stripes would look good on the roof even if I went with stripes. But I do want rocker stripes in satin black.
I have two choices, buy the rocker stripes for $300 after I've bought the car and put them on, or order the car with satin black stripes, and remove just the over the top stripes. What do you guys think? Is it difficult to remove them?

I think this is a no brainer. Remove the stripes yourself.

How do I remove them, heat them up with a hair dryer?

I had one of my rockers replaced, the guy just sprayed water on and pulled it off. If you're worried about it. I'm sure a body shop would do it.

A heat gun and some goo gone will make your job quicker and easier. My dad(has a vinyl cutter; non-profit use), said to use a razor blade if you absolutely have to. Put it out in the hot sun and use a hairdryer if that's what you got.

Absolutely sure it was water? They sell "solvent" for the glue on vinyl stickers, but it shouldn't be that difficult.

Yes, I asked what it was before he sprayed it on my mustang and if you use a heat gun, I suggest STRONG CAUTION.
