Which way looks better? Pics

Ok so I had to remove my racing stripes because they were chipped and foggy and ****. That looked like ****. I have been wanting to get them redone but I have been driving with no stripes for a few days and I am started to like it. What do you guys think? I think it looks rather bare. I love going to car shows and I need something on the exterior that's show worthy.. Any ideas??

With stripes:

Without stripes:

Should I get them redone or do something different?? Sorry about the without stripes quality. Just took them with my blackberry!

I like the stripes. But the way I see it is after u have something on it car for a while you tend to get used to it. But when u change it, it always looks better cuz it's different

It's happened to me many times

I like it the way it is... simple, clean, and what the cobalt was meant to be!

Your cars color draws enough attention to it, don't need to add to it. Plus it looks soo good now anyway!

BTW how is the car running???

I think your car looked bad ass with the stripes. It looked good cause you got the blacked out emblems with black rims. I'm not a big fan of stripes but they did look damn good on your car
