Looking for honest opinions.

I have been contemplating removing my Hockey Stripes. Just looking for some opinions as to what you guys think? I would leave the Manta on as well as the rear stripes, But have just been thinking about a change. Let me know what you think, Thanks

Remove it from one side. That way if you miss seeing the stripe, all you will need to do is park your car the other way.

I think they suck! LOL j/k

tough call, I like versions of the manta that I've seen where they only use part of it, you've had those stripes for a while now right? Might feel naked without them

Maybe "figure skating stripes" would be more your speed?? You could have nice curvey lines with those loops and jumps.

I'd leave them on! They give your car kind of a new-age-retro look.

If you want to change the look of the car I have a set of red truck-nuts you could try.

I think they look good, but I also think it'd look good with just the manta/stripe down the middle. I mean really it comes down to what you really want. Cuz you also gotta think you'll also have to relocate those nice LS1 emblems too, they'd look out of place if you took the stripes off. I dunno where they'd really fit else where unless you took off the side SS emblems.

So on second thought I say leave em on.

I can understand wanting a change. I have been wanting to do something different to my car for years but keep getting talked out of it. But in your case the car is different and I have always liked how that car looks. So I am going to have to go with the majority on this one.

Hey, you can always do what I do, get a different set of wheels and swap them out from time to time.
