I like it with the stripe, looks pretty good even though I'm not a big fan of the black butt look anyways.
My DD white 2004 Grand Prix came with the black butt from the factory, and it just doesn't seem like an upgrade to make my Vette look like my GP.

ANY stripe makes it look more "finished" and cleaner.

Not sure about red with the yellow, but it's better than nothing in my opinion. Good job

Tim, how difficult is it to do ? After having the panel blacked out, it looks like it can really "clean up" the paint edge nicely. Would you like to buy a nice spoiler I just got painted but just blew the motor up in my car, it was on the car for like 1 day.
