I think why some are saying it looks better without them is because there was really nothing else tying the stripes with the car. Everything was mainly is black. If there had been more silver accents it would look really good with the stripes.

i have been debating on taking all the rest of the silver accents off like on the rear tailight piece and the front bumper bird and making the whole car black. Or does the silver accents help break it up a lil??

I would definitely leave them off, it looks more clean and goes better with your theme. If you had chrome rims then i would say leave em on. But with the black on black theme, tear em off.

The WS6 looks beautiful without any stripes on it. It was a good decision to take those off. Looks nice and clean...

Yeah I agree keep some of the silver on there. I guess it's just the back part that to me looks like too much black. Your back up lights are black too...right? Car is nice and clean though

looks better without stripes. I'd remove the rest of the decals also. I had one of those firechicken license plate ones on my blue Formula and removed it later. Looked cleaner without it in my opinion.
