Why don't you just peel off the stripes?

I'm worried that the 6-year-old paint underneath will be a different color. Which will require repainting the hood to fix. Then the hood won't match the car.

Red does tend to fade quicker than other colors; & especially if parked in the sun often.

For what it's worth...pealed off the stripes from my Blue MCS, & unless you know they were there, you would have a hard time seeing it; as the paint was Very-Slightly darker.. Honestly, I like it, but I'm the only one that notices.

I would call them 'Ghost Stripes'; but, Only IF they were a bunch Darker.
