Hi Rich, Welcome to the club. I felt the *exact* same way before I bought my Delorean with a side stripe. But after a couple of months, I actually came to appreciate it - it really makes the car stand out from all the others (sorry guys..), and it's an uncommon dealer option. Now I'm quite happy with it and that I never removed it. Once you get the car, try it out for a while - then decide if you want to remove it. -Hank
