Default Should I keep em, change, or loose them?

Well, I currently have 35th ann camaro, stripe package on my ta. I am starting to get bored with them. And I am thinking about maybe going with some black bird stripes, or just no stripes at all. But I wanted see what everyone else though. So let me kow what you think

My current look. (not the best pics but you can get an idea of what it looks like.




Here is a good pic of what they look like but, its on another car (not mine) but the exact same stripes






But I was thinking about black bird stripes in silver

blackbirds are more subtle so thats what i would do and if i were you i would lose the windshield banner because most anyone can tell you are on import patrol by looking at the front end and hearing the exhaust they do not need to read the top of your windshield but its your car and you are on import patrol eityher way

I would keep the stripes you have. The grills look odd with them for some reason in the pictures. I dunno if its just the flash or what.

well i say keep the aniversery stripes and get rid of the banner on the front windshield cuz the only way people are gona see it is if there infront of you (bad during race) now if its on the back its ok so they can read it durring the race as you leave them

I like the stripes, I think the shitty pic doesn't do them justice. They look great on that SOM car.

My advice would be just to lose the windshield banner. It clutters up the look IMO.
