Pin stripe...leave it on or take it off?

Well after two years I'm questioning the pinstripe my truck came with. I left it on because I thought it complimented the STX decal real well and personalized it a little. I still like it but at the same time I kind of want to take it off ever since I started doing mods. What are your opinions??

Take it and the STX off. Cleaner look, IMHO.

Take them both off, but if you plan on leaving the STX, then leave the stripe. I have never cared for the decals and stripes.

Another vote to take them off. But remember after two years...you might have ghost images.

Will I be able to get rid of any color difference easily? Maybe a wax or compound?

I just looked at my sticker and it looks like it was put on after.
