I AM THE COLLECTOR

but i can order the original stripes any time and slap them on. even though they were **** near invisible to everyone who looked at the car lol

I know what you mean about invisible stripes, mine are the same. The only time you could see them really good was right after I got it. I washed and waxed it the day after I got it and accidently waxed the stripes too.......lol I had a heck of a time getting the wax off the stripes

Agreed, I like the GT/CS stripes much better. They are one of the main distinguishing features of our cars, and the fade-out effect is cool.

But to each his own.

They work on your car because it's red, but to have stripes that are near invisible such as i had, kind of like "why is that thing there if you can't see it" so i made them quite visible

Yeah, I get it. But "subtle" is good, too.
