Default Thoughts on Grand Sport stripes?

Hey guys, i've been considering puting Grand sport stripes on my t/a for a little while now. Today i decided to "mock" some up with some electrical tape just to see how it looks. they arent exact, but enough to give me the idea of what they look like. i like them, but i think that i would like them to be symetrical, and put them on the pass side as well. what does everyone think about this? here are some pics btw, of how to do the cheapest gs stripes possible.

I went with brent frankers, very high quality. I got them reflective for both sides, I think it was like $35. But remember that's for the reflective stuff, regular vinyl is cheaper.

They look like a tacky sticker added on from Pep Boys...they don't 'flow' with the car, like blackbird type stripes, or the manta stripe for the camaros. But hey, what do i know

Only do the drivers side if you do them.... They were designed to help race teams distinguish between simularly painted cars btw.

Personally I love them, but my bro talked me out of putting them on my car for two reasons, one its a pontiac and two it would be too much. I still might do it one day though.

I like them. One side only, some people dont understand why there only on one side but I think it looks better.

I just got them done this morning, I got them on both sides and I also have them wrapping all the way around. One thing I can't stand are stripes that aren't complete or on 1 side only. My camera sucks, I can't wait to have a photoshoot w/ a friends camera for some nice shots.

I realize the whole concept of why they're only on the driver's side, but I'm a stickler for symmetry LOL and it would bug the **** out of me.
