I like the GS stripes. IMO, the hockey sticks don't go well with the lines of the 4th gens.

Keep the GS by all means.
Not to offend anyone, but the hockey stripes look like Autozone ghetto, even on a Berger.

Keep the GS stripes. The clean, uncluttered look of your car is perfect. Hockey stripes only look good on older, boxy style Camaros because they actually fit the body lines. The GS are subtle and make your car look classy; they don't clutter up the exterior like the others would. Hockey stripes are just like stickers, you should stay away from them if you want a clean, sleek looking car.

Sorry if I offended anyone, but I'm just stating my opinion.

And who cares what everyone else has or thinks, it's your car and a only a certain amount of people know what the stripes mean and why they're only on one side.

Either set of hockey stripes would look great on your car. If you really want to be pimp, have them painted on and clearcoated.
