OK, I know opinions are like butts. Everybody has one. However, I would like to hear yours. I have purchased this 2018 Mustang and the dealer had already added the hood and trunk lid vinyl and also the stripes near the rocker panel. They have agreed to remove them if I don't like them. I am OK with the hood and trunk lid but I am torn about the ones on the rocker panel. What do you think?

Just my personal opinion, but there's a lot going on with your car...red interior, black roof, Black Accent Pkg, all of which look great on white. All the stripes just detract from how nice looking it is. Keep it clean and simple. It doesn't need them.

As far as I'm concerned stripes don't enhance the looks of an S550, except of course the GT350.

Remove them all. The black roof is a good enough black accent piece.

Thanks guys for confirming what I was thinking. Side stripes gotta go. Will keep the hood and trunk lid for now.

They have a red stripe bordering the black hood and trunk lid vinyl. It actually ties into the showstopper red interior. I am going to leave this for now.....maybe forever....and maybe not.... By the way, the showstopper red is actually pretty nice. It is darker than the redline interior option on the pre-2018 S550s.

Theres nothing on the trunk? I feel if u dont have bumper to bumper stripes, why have stripes at all, it just feels incomplete. I am also not a fan of the single stripe, I like dual stripes, just my opinion. Keep the black roof, thats all Id do. If you have them take off the stripes, inspect the area, make sure they did not scratch the paint when removing the glue, easy to do.

The trunk lid also has the wide black with the red pinstripe - same as the hood. My dealer has a guy that puts them on and also removes them. He has tons of experience but I will inspect it closely after removal.
