Hello and welcome along to the forums. :D
I'd have to say no to the track stripes. They look okay-ish on a black car, but no other colour suits them IMHO.

Greetings and welcome. A great looking ride. Keep on the mods and make it what you want it to be.

Check out the white track stripes. They look pretty good on a red VE.

Thanks crew for the feedback. I also was tossing up on stripes. I ordered them at Holden dealer but instead got the ssv lights when I went to pick them up. I just wasn't too sure at the time. The $500 was also a factor. Think the black front end satisfied the need to offset the red.

hi and welcome

nice to another SA GREAT car
i thought i reconised the car the red chevy badge gives it away
if you want stripes go and see Colin at SVE for some good advice and no bull crap
i beleive the 3m product are far superior to the GMH stripes
will give you a wave next time i spot the car

i have the 3M stripes on my VE, must say ive compared it side by side to ave who that the holden stripes and mine are way better, they are fatter and longer.. and have a lifetime warranty.

i like the front of urs! how hard was it to install the daytime driving led lights ?
