Stripe delete done..pics
Well I couldnt stand the stripes, so I took it to the body-shop and had them removed. They then rebuffed and did some touch up work. I have nothing personal against stripes, but the vinyl ones just look cheap imho. Couple of pics.

Is that a CE Z06??? Personally if it is, I would have left the stripes, that is the whole purpose of the package. But too each is there own. If you are happy with your car, that is all that matters!!

Yes it is the CE Z-16 package. I know its taboo to remove those on the CE edition, but I bought it for fun and was not to concearned about that issue. I did think about having them painted on, but after seeing it without I really like it.

I don't really think the CE stripes fit the definition of ricey.

He might mean 'either-or'...
I just remember right after I graduated from high school when the Fast and the Furious movies were out and every single Honda had to have racing stripes or stickers (hence, 'rice'.) It got so bad that most of us made a point to remove every single sticker/stripe just to prove a point that 'cleaner is better'. The sticker fad started to wear off in 2003 or so, and then BAM!... Chevy put decals on all blue 2004 Z06s. Maybe it's just too soon.
A local friend of mine has one and wants to do the stripe delete and powder coat his wheels black but is afraid to because he thinks the Z16 nutswingers will put him in the dog house. He's actually thinking about trading it in for a 2003 Electron Blue, since it's bothering him so much.
