Now that sounds like it would make a great thread. If you find some used stripes, take plenty of pics. Both of how they were removed and reinstalled.
Also if you could post an estimated cost savings.

I'm not a fan of mine either. I was going to talk to my local pinstriper and see what he thought about just pinstriping black over them for now....until I can afford a paint job.

My buddy did not like his factory silver on black stripes so I suggest to have a pinstriper paint a more suitable color right over the top of stock like maybe a matte black.
He did and is happy now

well I am going to come up with something. The more I look at them the more I really dislike them. The 15's had a cooler placement. the 16 was like they just randomly picked a spot and stuck em on there for the sake of having them on there. Hey its not a end of the world thing, it just is one of those little things that bug me. Then again it had em when I bought it, so there ya go.

I just repainted my bags after I added the extensions, the stripes are deep I sanded and sanded after getting the stripe off, I primed it to see where I was and had to sand some more. they do a really good job of putting stripes on
