If it were my decision, I would choose the stripe that was the closet color match to the wheels.

Default got a winner!

thanks everyone silver it is! has anyone seen them as an aftermarket product or do I need to get them from a dealer. I know there are some cheaper vinyl ones out there but I want to get the heritage stripes if possible.

thanks again!

Mike

There's a vendor called "freakdecals".com without the quotations.They have excellent quality stripes and you don't need to spend 8 million bucks because they say GM on them.Gray is better then silver for your car,btw.

If you can afford it don't go cheap. Keep in mind the factory stripes are strong, two toned (see the edge stripe) and have a sweet bow tie detail.

You've put enough thought into this, get the factory ones and be sure not wrap them into the wheel well when you mount them.

What is the process to install these OEM stripes. Is it difficult? Is there a template for proper alignment?

i have been debating this decsion for a bit and I totaly agree that a darker blue will look cool on my supersonic paint. I actually think i will do this right and get it painted and clear coated on vs. a sticker. i know it's more but it will be done right. gotta get some other mods done first though.

agreed. that was my first choice as well to match my calibers however after seeing a darker blue (i think mid-night blue) on a supersonic it looked very cool. not as flashy which is what i am looking for. the pic that i saw actually had a silver boarder around the darker blue so it does jump out a bit.
