Get rid of stripes?

Hey guys, I got backed into in a parking lot yesterday on the driver's side of my truck, which messed up the vinyl striping on that side a little. Not noticable unless you get close to it and look for it, but it's enough to annoy me just knowing that it's there. So I need some opinions from you guys. Should I take the striping on the sides off? How about the two stripes on top? Neither? Both? What do you think?

I'd ditch all of the stripes. I've never really cared for the Rousch stripes on the side though. I would like the stripes on the hood if they were a bit wider.

nice truck...if the side is messed up - i would take it off....but leave the top and hood ones on.

I would think you could peel it off with a heat gun (that is how i removed vinyl decals off old trucks).

It's a little messed up. it's definetly not noticeable when you look at the truck though, but I know it's there so it annoys me if that makes any sense... The pictures are from after it happened, so you guys can get an idea of what it is like. I'll probably take the sides off for now, then see later on if I want to take the top ones off.

if it annoys you then take them off. I think it will look very clean with them off but it still looks good with them on. Did you get any money or anythign from the person who hit you?

Keep the top stripes but dump the side ones......... they look cheesy on such a nice looking truck.
