Stripe is definitely staying. It just sets the car apart. I really like the white - it pops a lot more.

DJFury, you're killing these photoshops. Since you're already in kill-mode, can I get you to do one more?!

This is the hood I will get - can you put the white stripe on it, ending in the air extractor?

For HRE, I'm disappointed in how those look. Car looks great though.

I think I'm putting my vote in for the gunmetal wheel centers and stripe. You could keep the white stripe if you wanted, the C4 GS pulled it off...

You're right - that GS does look nice.

And for the record, I like the HREs, but I feel like I can do better. Not sure I want to put the money into powerdercoating them if I may sell them.

I think they need more of a lip, but that's my personal preference.

If you plan on selling them, don't powdercoat. If you're keeping them, I say powdercoat. My $0.02
