Lower body accent stripes... YES/NO

I was thinking of adding the lower accent stripes to my car and discovered that the color's are Black/Blue and not Silver like I thought. This is according to the RPO code 81A? For a long time now I actually liked the Black IROCS with the blue body stripes.

But I'm having second thoughts now???

1. Should i even bother adding them?

2. Who makes a good, not so expensive kit?

3. Pics with this combo would help too!

Any suggestion are a +. Thanx guys.

I took the stripes off my IROC when I got it. It was peeling in some areas and didn't look good. I like it better without though. However I have thought about purchasing new stripes to put back on.

The black and silver is very common. I prefer the black with blue stripe myself. I would put them back on if it were me. I recently striped a car with stripes from Phoenix Graphics. Very easy to do and I heard the price was fair.

I say red for your car. Red/black looks sick but of course you would have to change your IROC door sticker.

I got mine painted on when I got my car painted, and it looks a thousand times better than the vinyl ones
