Just can't let it go can you??..... I think you should just start your own thread... "I HATE GS STRIPES ON A C5"
Then express allllllllllllllll your "cheesy" reasons.

Honestly.... Just sayin'.

BUT to the OP, Your car looks awesome in that Matte Black finish. Sounds like you have a nice setup there too!

Some try to do the all blacked out look, but I think you really pulled it off well. It will look even better with those blackouts you have ordered.

Harley did the matte black on a bike and I hear they sell a ton of them, so plenty of guys like it. I like the look but a car like that HAS to be fast, real fast!

I doubt I would ever do a matte finish on my car, but your's came out very nice. Well done.

I really like the matte finish, but I was just reading that it's very difficult to maintain if it's paint.

Thats your words not mine...

I just wish people would try to break the mold a little. GS stripes on non GS cars are the Type R stickers of the corvette world. Its a ricer mod... Same as putting a ZR1 badge on there...

Thats my opinion...dont like it...dont read it.
