Default Keep the CE stripes, or not??

Recently picked up a 99 FRC with CE stripes. At first, I didn't know if I would keep them, but I am beginning to like them. What do you think?

Keep Them!!

They make the car look sportier!! Plus, it will separate your car from the other red Vettes.

I just asked my wife about the silver strips on my red coupe the other day and while I like them she didn't. I say they look good. Definitely a personal thing but it does differentiate yours from all the rest.
