Default what color fender stripes on Supersonic Blue GS?
I want to add stripes to my Supersonic Blue GS coupe. I have ebony interior and the brake calipers are gray. I am leaning towards red but am wondering if anyone has done silver? Pics would be appreciated!
TIA
Mike

What color calipers do you have? I like red the best, but silver will work with silver calipers

I have the stock silver but with red lettering and the red accents on the emblems red works fine. I just wanted to see if anyone had pics of the silver stripes.

Default GO RED and don't look back
I just picked up my SuperSonic GS vert and debated for about...oh, 3 seconds. The Red really hits off the blue nicely...it helps that I have red calipers too, but i dont think you have to "match" your calipers.

Also, I've gotten a TON of compliments on the combo in person...love it.

Here are few pics to consider:

I think stripes look best when they match the caliper color, as in this case;



or as in this case;



You have gray calipers, so what color are your wheels?

I agree...I definatly think the caliper color sets it off in both cases. Love those Comp Gray Rims. WHY did GM discontinue Comp Grays? Loved my Atomic Orange with Comp Gray rims:

Mine has silver stripes. Goes well with the silver calipers and on my car the silver hood bulge.

Mike, your supersonic blue with chrome wheels and gray calipers I'd suggest silver heritage stripes. Visualize this pic with darker gray calipers. The silver matches the chrome wheels and chrome GS trim on the gill vents.
