Good for you....do it both ways! Yeah, I don't think it'll cost you much more to have the stripe painted than the cost of the decal kit. My feeling has always been that a decal reacts differently under sunlight, heat and then cooling than the metal nearby and the paint above it if it is clear-coated....and I have seen a few where the clear coat began to crack.
Plus, since you are doing a pro-touring mod, there is no reason you couldn't do something custom with the stripe.....kind of like you are doing with the color of the paint. So when people see it from a distance it looks normal, but up close there is something unique about it.
I'll be watching your progress, thanks!
