They look OK.
I think white cars, in general, look conservative.
The accents make it look more energized.

I really have no problem with them, but I'm not in love with adding stripes to cars.

The stripes look okay. I would have went with red ones though.
Your tires look thick.

Your car looks hot with those decals.
Funny you should post this. I just got decals to put on my 91. My car is white, and the decals are black, and they would go in the four slots on each side of the fenders. Your car has two vertical slots, my car has four horizontal slots. I also bought the black out kit from Ecklers, the one that has the plastic lenses with a rubber gasket that fit right over your original lenses. $50 bucks, looks like their worth it. LOL.

I like the black with the white! It definitely adds a bit of pizzazz

What's wrong with the stripes? They look fine.

Looks good to me. I'm curious what red would look like though?

I took them off. I guess I am more of a purist than I thought. I like them on other cars but they just didn't feel right for me. I guess I'll have to buy a GS if I want stripes

You put them on, and you decided that they were not right. Good for you. It's your car, and you have to feel good about what you put in it, or into it. That's why you bought the car in the first place, to please yourself.

Didn't sound like you were too crazy about them. BTW, white cars always look good

Before I opened your pictures, I was thinking
Now after seeing them, they don't look bad.
But do whatever you want.
