Ateup, that is one gorgeous vehicle, congratulations man! Please enjoy your ride and report back here often.
I may be a bit prejudiced; I just ordered a red over black convertible with delivery around May 1st. I went with a similar stripe (MCA Pkg) and I too debated long over the whole stripe issue. Like you, the midships stripe really started to appeal to me. Figured if I (we) don't like them after a while we can always get the heat gun out and remove same.
Good luck!
