Looks good. You should consider taking off the GT emblems and painting them black.

Looks great, especially with the GO!
I had prior removed & painted my GT emblems, alot of glare in the pic, but it ties in well with the C-Stripes;

I painted my friend's emblems. You will need some plastic fishing line to kind of saw behind the emblem and cut through the double sided tape. There are 2 prongs that are on the emblem so you kind of have to work aound them.

Once you get it off there will be some tape still on the car and the emblem. Get some tape remover stuff from home depot or someplace and get it all off.

For painting, clean them with alcohol or laquer thinnner, then scuff them with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper. Next spray with primer spray paint, then a few light coats with the black of your choice. My friend wanted a semi-gloss black so I didn't top it off with clear, but if you want it shiny, hit it with a few coats of clear after the black. Let them sit overnight just to be sure they are good and dry before you put them back on the car.

You will need some double sided tape too to put them back on. Don't worry about adhesion promoter or anything like that. I would use 3M tape though if I were you. Get black.
