Default Opinions on these stripes on my car

Opinions on these stripes on my car. After recent events of running into the 425rwhp pewter ss in town(car is in horrible condition), I have decided I need a little more to distiguish the cars apart. Only difference now is rims, tint, grill, and hood spot.

id say no jus because their the 35th stripes and you cars a 99. Alot of people have done it but im jus a stickler about lil things like that. Id say go along the same lines with the stripe but keep them solid.

I've been somewhat considering those for my pewter SS, but I would definitely go with the terminated ends, above the grill.

So do you think the 35th looks out of place? Maybe the Corvette wheels are out of place also. Ahhh, and the LS1, it came from the corvette also...DAM!!!! j/k

I personally like the way the stripes looked on my car. I was very satisfied. I guess just a matter of owner oppinion...

I really like the style of these, but I don't like how the ends are so squared off, it would go with the lines of the car better it the corners were more curved.

I'm sorry, but "SS" stripes just dont look good on a 4th gen. But if you do get them at least get the solid stripes not the checkered flag ones... so tacky.

What's so tacky about the checkers. I just don't get it...

I personally think they bring flavor to the stripes instead of just "plain" stripes. Stripes are stripes.

I do think stripes would be a little too much with that hood spot already there. Maybe a thin black stripe along the side of the scoop?
