Default Torch Red GS - Show Me Your Stripes

Hey Gang,
I'm thinking about adding the Heritage stripes to my Torch Red GS 'vert, but not sure what color stripes to add - Silver, White, or Black. My car is TR with Ebony interior, a black top and painted silver wheels. Those of you in Torch Red, post pics of your stripes.

Thanks in advance !

Sorry, no photo, but my 2010 GS Coupe is identical: Torch Red with the 3LT Ebony interior. I had the dealer put on silver heritage stripes and a torch red full-length rear spoiler. I like the color silver for the stripes since it matches the GS caliper color. But, I have seen white and either color looks great. My car gets almost as much attention as my '65 Sting Ray! -Clark

Silver wheels and silver brakes here on my 11. I will be going with silver hash -I've seen the combo on other GS's and it simply "works". Grey comp wheens. chrome wheels etc...different story but with silver wheels and silver brakes there are some combos that you just "do it" and do not question. Tri silver is a no brainer.

I have a Torch Red GS with the painted silver wheels. If I put hash marks on mine I would put the silver hash marks on mine.

I went with the silver stripes, they really match the calipers as stated before. I am a fan of the stripes just because of the heritage of the GS from the 60's.



Sorry about the porta-potty in the background, they are building on both sides of my house! lol I can't get a shot of the car in my driveway without a potty in the view!

I have installed ZR1 chin splitter and side skirts on Sat in gloss black, I have not had a chance to make photos of it as of yet, but will get to that when I return from training in ATL this week. Work and weekend plans have hurt my modding schedule! LOL I have a full width ZR1 spoiler in Torch Red to install this weekend. I will then take more photos. Oh and windows have been tinted since this photo as well...

So, black is definitely out...silver and white seem to be the next best colors to choose from. Given the set up of my car, looks like silver will be the best option for me.

Thanks gang !
