I have thought about getting a pair since I bought my 11 GS. I wanted the authentic ones but the price always pushed me away. Well now I have found a new GM pair for 130 bucks never installed. I was wondering if they would look good on my car. They are white with silver border. The calipers and the engine bay are lemans blue, the GS badges are carbon fiber with lemans blue G and S, side markers and tail lights are blacked out, door handles and spoiler are carbon fiber also.

Here's a pic of my car as it sits today.

I think they will look good... white, red or silver stripes always look good on black. Since these are white with silver edges, they will look great! In addition you have either white or silver letters on your brake caliper, so I think it will tie in IMO! Worse case you can always take them off!

I personally don't think the white would look good at all.

Just my .02 cents worth. Get them put them on. Only you will know if you like them. Put them on if you don't like them you can always remove them. Only person who matters when it comes to your car is you. You are paying for it.

Since you think you will like them, give them a try. You're only out $130 if you decide you don't like them.

I never cared for the hash marks but personal taste/choice (either good or bad!) helps make the world go around. I know there are plenty of things I do that other people don't like......

Look, it's all personal. Do what works for you. Those colors work well together on black. I've got them on my TR GS and I think they make the car complete. That's a terrific price, if you take the plunge I can't imagine getting a better deal.
