I was going to say the same as mentioned above me. lose the fake anni. stripes and get the real one's in flat black. trust me you'll love it. it gives a very very nice touch and remains subtle and smooth to the car's looks.

IF I put stripes back on they're going to be the berger style stripes that I've previously posted. Not the "real" 35th anny stripes, no offense to anyone that has them, but IMHO I think the real 35th anny stripes look worse than what's currently on my car. The only reason these are on my car is because I bought it this way and have never gotten around to taking them off. I actually like the red and black combo, so they'res no way that I'm going to go black/sliver or black/white or black/grey, defintally not black/black. I'm not saying those color combos don't look good, but they're not what I'd want on my car. If I take these off, more than likely they'll stay off, unless they leave a shadow, at what point I'll probably attempt to cover them with the berger style stripes until I can afford to have someone who knows more about detailing remove the shadow without having to paint the hood, bumper, and rear deck lid.

That 3rd gendecals does make exact replicas of our original 35th LE 's down to the tiny ,tiny dots that are printed into our original strips! I bought and installed some of their side 35th strips on my 35th and they match the originals 100%

I would think a flat or satin black set would look killer and would set it off
