Default Grand Sport stripes on an SS

I was playing around with photoshop on an old pic. I want to do a little to the exterior of my car...just so it is a bit different than the average (There are 3 or 4 pewter non-SS camaros in my town). Here is what I came up with.

Grand Sport stripes on an SS-ss-future.jpg

I already have the LE wheels, no more windshield banner, front windows are tinted 15%, SLP SS grill and no blackouts up front.

Im just looking for opinions. If you like it, dont like it, like the idea, dont like the black. I was thinking of a dark charcole grey, more in line with the color in the "SS" emblem.

Also was thinkging about smoked or clear front side markers.

Gloss black or something more subtle?

I can't stand them myself, but to each their own. Do what makes you happy.

I'm not a fan of GS stripes but it looks pretty raw on that SS, just don't black out the headlights, leave them original or whistler mod.

i would do hockey stripe, or maybe put the gs stripes on the other side to be different. im not a fan of putting stuff from other cars onto other cars. but to each is his own. do what you like.

A member on here (LS1Vince) has a pewter SS with hockey stripes that look real good, recommend that over GS stripes imo.

Vinces car with the hockey stripes looks awesome. I like those better than the ones that go all the way back

Must be something about pewter Camaros. I thought about doing the same thing but can't decide. I prefer the GS stripes over the hockey thing.

They look really good on your car. They just work with the wheels and the hood scoop insert.

GS works if done right and tastefully. I do like them. They should compliment and accent the car.

Say if I wanted to add GS stripes (not saying I will), is the only color option for my NBM silver?

Meh.

I'm not a fan of GS stripes, I think they're pointless on anything other than a Vette, and even then they're only so-so IMO.

And WTF is up with Dodge using them now? People are going to start asking you if your car has a Hemi now.

If Dodge can use GS stripes, maybe you ought to throw some 'cuda style strobe stripes on your SS. HAHA!
