Ebony Interior, I'm thinking about it too.

I think Your car looks amazing but, it would look nice with light silver.

Either the silver or red hash marks would look great on your car.

The chrome wheels look great on your car, I would keep them.

Congrats

The car I am picking up is a 2010 grand sport, cyber grey with the competition grey wheels, with the heritage package. However, the dealer has not yet installed the red stripes and I've asked them to hold off. The stripes are red, but the interior is the two-tone ebony-grey. I'd really be interested in seeing more pics (of the whole car) of this the combo "grand sport cyber grey with silver stripes". I think the silver stripes with the grey interior would look very nice - any pics of the whole car config'd like this?

Thanks,

Mark

Im a anti sticker kinda guy. IMO they make too much distraction and everyones eyes would focus on those sideways awkward mounted stripes. I say YES to comp grey wheels but NO to the stripes. Its just too clean to be adding something that stands out so much.

Not that I think a stripe GS looks bad, its just I prefer it without and if I owned a GS there would be no stripes on it.

Thats probably the sharpest looking GS I have seen. If I had seen it before placing my order mine might have looked the same.

I may be coming to a similar conclusion - initially I really loved the stripes- heck I think they look awesome- but it does draw the eye to the "spot of color" vs. allowing the eye to absorb the overall flow of the car, which is awesome. On another downside, the dealer wants $525 to swap out the red stripes with the silver stripes.
