Default Question for Z16 owners

Any problems with the stripes? Do you wax em? Anyone tried to take em off? I want to buy a z16, but these are some questions I have. Blue is my favorite color.
Thanks!

No Problems here at all with the stripes. Wash and wax right over top of them. Havn't seen anyone remove them, but have seen some installed onto CE coupes and verts.
I really like them only wish they were painted on like the Grand Sport from 96.

Unfortunately the stripes on the GS were not all paint. The little blue line and white stripe off of the center white stripes were pinstriping. I believe the top was also a decal, didn't look too closely at it.

"Blue is my favorite color."
If you like the stripes, do it. As they say, "no problems" after 5500 miles.
And, I live on a dirt road and wash it ALL the time I go to town.
