Was toying with the idea of getting the HSV side stripes off flea bay to put on my Black GTS, did fancy them in Carbon effect to match all the other carbon bits but they don't do them frown

Didn't want to go in your face but kind of think yellow might look good to tie in the brake calipers and wheel centres, they're only £25 a set so not mega bucks to try out the colour.

Any thoughts, or any body know where I might be able to get some made in Carbon Effect?

Have you asked the sellers of the other coloured ones, if they could knock you up a set in carbon effect?

I think yellow would be too loud for your car.

I can only find one seller and they just said they didn't do them, didn't hint that they could get them done so I assumed they wasn't interested.

My original thought was matt black?

I know it's the wrong car, but it gives you an idea.....

Same stripes as I had on the Monaro JB, if you search VXR8 stripes on flea bay, you'll see what I mean.

I had a few sets of them back in 2010/11. they were good value. I put silver grey ones on a black VXR8 and looked good



similar to this



or once I just use the hsv decal, when they sent 2 wrong sets ie 2x n/s ones, you could get away with yellow if just the logo

Cheers mate, that's very kind of you but I was really after a dark colour, can't you change them to Carbon Effect or Matt Black for me ?? biggrin

You never know, maybe someone else might fancy a white set ?

I've got a marker pen, if you wanted to colour them in. Take your time, and you could colour a carbon weave. hehe
