Default Stripes or No Stripes

I want to put the thick Black stripes on my 06 Yellow GT Convertible. The wife says "no". She tells me that I am a 40 year old man, Stripes are for kids.
What's your opinion?

Pete

I am just shy of 40 and I just had red stripes put on my car...I think at any age, go with the stripes.

I'm 43. Redfire with black stripes. If it's your car, do what you want. I wanted a manual, so that's what I bought. The wife has never driven it since she refuses to learn to drive stick

I'm 44... It's not an age thing. It's a personal choice.

I agree I'm in the over 40 crowd and I love my stripes, I get so many
complements on them almost on a daily basis. The beauty is the cars
look great either way!! It's a win win situation!

Sounds just like my wife, I worked on her for weeks.
Got my stripes, but it cost me LOL.
I'm not a fan of the rally-type stripes though.

I'm 47 and my wife did not want me to put the stripes on. Now that I have she doesn't like the looks of the ones without stripes! Have your wife look at the stripes on my car. Yellow with wide stripes.
