If you like them, just get them. Dont worry about peoples opinions. Plus theyre just vinyl, you can take them off if you want.

dude. just get them if you want them. if you dont see anyone around you running them. that makes you unique. if it was up to LS1tech "experts" to do your car, it would just be plain with black ZR1 DD's. lol do what you want to do!

man there will be people who hate your car and love your car no matter what you do. The point of the car should be an expression of yourself and ultimately, you should do whatever the hell you want. I think GS stripes look good on some camaros and others not so much bc it can get "busy" looking.

I been going by random threads and it was a mixed consensus .. i personally think they look legit and unique, but like that guy said above I don't want my car to look all 'crowded'

I'll prolly try them out and see how it jives on this site when I post up pics, my car needs a decal insert overhaul anyways

There are too many negative people on here. But do what you gotta do man, the good part is, if you dont like it, you can just take it off. if you send me a good sized pic of your car, i can photoshop some GS stripes on there for ya. just post the pic on here and i'll do a quick render for ya

It's about whatever, if someone gave them to me as a present I would use them. Alot of Camaro's pull it off real nice.

My view on the skunk stripes is leave it for the vettes. Does anyone even call them skunk stripes anymore? My opinion is just an opinion though. When it comes down to it don't let others sway you if it's something you really want to do.

It looks good with red on black, black on red, black on yellow, and black on gray! Other then that the blue on while looks like shiat.. I may be doing it also... I'm a fan!

Just pick up a can of plastidip and try them. It's 2 straight bars...not exactly hard to tape off. If you don't like them you can peel the stuff off. If you do you can either leave them and see if you like the look or get tired of it or just peel and have them done in vinyl.

I'm assuming you were going to do black to match the roof...other colors will look bad IMO.
