Default New twist on GS stripes

I know there are some GS haters out there but for those of you that still like them take a look.

I got to playing around with the plasti dip and some pin stripe tape and changed things up a little. Here are a few pics of my 01 WS6 it with my truck. Let me know what you guys think.

I really like it. But I agree with Camaroking, wouldn't take it all the way to the hood though

i think your car needs a few more badges. agreed with above also, would look better without it on the hood.

Stripes don't look too bad, like mentioned they're kinda like the 5th gen 1LE concept stripes (go onto the hood)

Now, all those emblems and stickers on the other hand....way too much IMO

Take stripes off and badges, that car would look much better with a sleek look. It really takes away the beauty of a black WS6. WS6 badge should only be on the bumper. IMO

I think the GS stripes look good on the truck. I would take them off the hood and leave them on the fender for the Trans-Am though.

I like them on the hood like that but a couple inches less. They seem to reach too far.


Def agree with others that the car has emblem overload right now though.

Definitely take some of the badges off...overkill. I like the stripes though, I would keep them for awhile until you get tired of them.

Wow! I'm surprised to see this many positive replies. I know the badges are overkill for some but I don't mind the car being a little obnoxious or juvenile. It's loud enough to wake the dead so it might as well be a little gaudy while I'm at it.

Yeah the new 1LE Camaro is where I got the idea. I'm glad someone mentioned it. I couldn't remember if those were on the concept 1LE or ZL1.

These are the only straight on shots that I have. They were all just some quickies I took before the rain came. I should get some new ones soon. Hopefully with a couple of girls involved too...
