That car doesn't need any decorations or war paint. It's beautiful as is

Letters are backwards on the top photo. You might want to change that.

Looks good. With or without. But the if you go with, the color combo you selected looks great.

Since the fuchs are all black, i think the stripes look pretty good as a way to break things up

I think it looks good both ways, slight preference toward keeping the stripes, since you chose a good color combo

What throws me is the euro side marker - can you change it to red? I like it the subtle nature of the stripes/letters.

Either looks good, but without gets a slight nod from me.

you can fix that in your camera settings.

I may be in the minority, but I like the look of the stripe.

Looks nice.
The black, silver, and red complement each other well

Beautiful car as is. The stripe feels like a little too much.

Yes stripes, but I like a little originality.

Indifferent on the graphic stripe, but I don’t think that the lettering is necessary or all that attractive.

If YOU like it, do it.

You can always take them off later?

..not a big fan of side stripes in general, but for some reason the silver with red works well on your car.

Stripes.
There's something wrong with me, something very, very wrong with me. Something seriously wrong with me. But I like the stripes!

Stripe is ok with me if you are ok with it.

Well I decided to take the stripe off..the wife said it did not look as sexy with the stripes...it looked good both ways but I agree. She is sexyer in her all black dress..
Thanks everyone for your input..
