I've also been a long time hater of GS stripes. They don't look like they belong, looks horrible on everything.

i hate that the new corvette GS... they took too much away from the z06. and even tho the fenders look sweet it kinda looks like a fish... and yes i know i own a catfish but still. At the end of the day they have been beaten to death

I have to admit, they do look good on a few F-Body's I've seen on here. I wouldn't put them on my car though. I think they look best (and kind of only belong on) a Corvette.

I saw some on a Challenger the other day and they shockingly actually looked really good. They weren't the typical ones though, they were a little thicker and more blocky. I guess they're a factory option.
