Should it stay, remove it or try a red set. I can't decide.

Red if you can see it ok. Subtle would work best on your smooth lookin' ride.

I like the way the gold offsets it....catches the eye and brings it to the lower aspects of the car. Hey by the way, have you replaced the top on your car yet?

I say go without the decals. For some reason, if you have decals but no molding on the center of the door it doesn't look quite right to me....

Defintately the gold. I'm not a fan of gold, but it looks good on your car. I think red wouldn't look right.

No decal unless you put the door molding on the car, in that case red.

Chuck, you are da phuggin man!!
Every car you touch just turns out badass!!
I still have the pic of your 383 at the Brickyard on my hard drive.
I just recently sent pics of your vert to my parents - they've been looking for a red IROC vert for a few years and I had NO problems recommending your ride.

As for the decals - LEAVE THEM OFF!

Don't mess with perfection, man!

IMO, IROC decals W/O the stripes makes the car look like there's something missing (which there is I guess). I'd either go with the decals and the stripes, or nothing at all. As for the color, red looks cleaner to me.

I agree with this, as well. I think that gold would look best on your car. If you choose to keep the decals, I think that they should be moved to the pre-'88 location (towards the front of the car on the door)... look at my sig pic to see what I mean. Very nice car!

i like it, it goes well with the car.. and since you already have it on thats an even better reason to leave it on.
