Default Show me your stripes on 2012 Grand Sport

Thinking of putting stripes on 2012 Supersonic Blue( not the hash slash)have looked at Auto Trim Design, and would like to see some GM. I'm thinking white or white pearl. Examples don't have to be limited to Supersonic cars. Thanks.

I thought about it. I had stripes on my 2005 and loved them. But my GS has the hash stripes and a second full body stripe just seemed like it would make it way too busy. I'd have to remove the hash stripes and that would negate the Heritage Package. So I decided against it, at least for now. I think it looks good with just the hash stripes anyhow...

I was in Bristol TN this past weekend and the local dealer had two GS's on the showroom floor; one with hash marks and one with stripes. I didn't look up their website, but maybe they have photos of their cars that are in stock.

Well, it's not supersonic blue, but it's a Grand Sport with GM full length racing stripes...

Here's mine, Mine's not a GS. Looks even better. GM usually uses tape. Mine is painted on with clear coat over.

your aren't looking in the right garages ... there are plenty of threads about stripes and hashes and color combos ... as long as it's a GS (because it's there). with and without. take your pick
P.S. they always look better on a vert!

Mundo,

Looks awesome especially with the lexan roof (at least it looks like lexan from the pix).

Can you give me an idea of what the paint and clearcoat work would cost? If that's
too personal I understand.

Thanks

What's up with the headlights? Usually those are the color of the car. They look like they came off a silver car. Painted stripes or tape? GM usually does tape.

Mine was already painted this way when I got it.

The Black down the hood is typical. I love the stripes on the sides. I hate the factory eyebrow stripes on the fenders that the stock GS comes with. I don't really think it goes with the flow of the body lines. And I am not to found of the Black on my rear spoiler and stripes down the back. They don't go with the flow of the body either. One of these days I will have it repainted back to Yellow.
