Looks good, but leave other side alone!

I never cared for the hashmarks being placed on both sides.

I really like the GS stripes.
Black with thin Red stripes goes perfectly.

Looks good IMHO, one side only. Let the new GS have them on both...

I like them! I also chose just to install mine on the driver's side.

I've had them on about three 5 years and it's amazing how many people tell me they recognize my car by the stripes after seeing it on the road.

I think "hash stripes" really hurt a car's appearance.

Thanks. Obviously, not everyone likes them, but the nice thing is this type of mod is completely reversible. This is the only car in my life I've ever owned this long (13 years & counting) so you need to change things up at times.

I would think they would recognize you by those rims
My vote is for both sides.
