Stripes are clinically proven to add horsepower. Lights do too.

 

I would say yes to driving lights. I had the 6" Piaa lights on my old mcs with stripes. I removes the stripes, and thought the lights looked a little large. I bought some 5" Wipac lights on Ebay and put them on my 05 without stripes. I think the smaller lights look much better on the car without the stripes.
