    Hmm, I think you need more black accents on the car to really go with the stripes. Plus I think they would take away from your purrrrty color

    u should get rid of those silly low profile tires and get properly sized ones. makes it look funky.

    imho fender stripes are rice. especially if youre not pushing any decent power.

    i do agree with previous posters that you should paint lower facias black. they will match your wheels a lot better.

    I say go for it. its your car how it looks should reflect how you want it to look. i think it would look good with that color and paint the front fascia black as mentioned above.

    I'll tell you something. When I was looking at Grand Prix's to buy there was a clean 97-03 (cant't remember what year exactly) for sale locally. I would have bought that car, if the owner didn't add "SS stripes"

    They just look bad on these cars. And bad as in bad, not bad as in awesome.

    He had it on there for a good price too and he was trying to sell it for MONTHS. Adding the stripes made it almost unsellable.

    There is a difference between adding an asthetic mod to a car that looks like it could have come on the car stock, and adding something that is a garish add-on that in no way shape or form looks like it came stock. Doing the latter will hurt resale when it comes to that point.
