Default side scoops, rocker stripes, or both?

I feel like the side of my car looks pretty plain (from a 45 degree angle from the front) So i been thinking of either getting rocker stripes (matte black without any letters) or side scoops...or both!

However I feel like both would take me towards the 'overdone' side where I want to keep a clean but awesome look...So right now I'm learning towards the scoops - but knowing me my mind will change about 15 more times until I make a decisions

How do you guys like your S197s sides, scoops, rockers, or both?

side scoops are one of those mods i never thought were worth it, but the more pics i look at, the more im lovin em!

i dont like side scoops at all..
i think the s197 looks best with lower door stripes like mine has...think it works perfect with the shape of the car

stripes, no scoops. They are too rigid for the s197 body.

I personally don't like stripes, or side scoops, but i think the shr flush mount side window louvers would get the look you want. They are the only window louvers that look really good imo.

*I don't really like the side scoop or rear louvers in the picture, but it is redfire.

Scoops!!!

The way these cars are designed with the rocker skirts, the stripes look too high. maybe do something like the gt/cs stripes down the middle of the door.

LOL ya after looking at more pics I'm leaning towards none of the above now...never been a fan of stickers really, I think once I get my rims put on I should be satisfied, as Rudolph said, less is more!

I washed my car today but I gotta remember to WIPE UNDER THE SPOILER and ON THE ROOF....i left them wet (i microfiber dry when im done washing) and when I got home they turned into white dirt...

I've not hand dried in a while because during the winter time i just washed weekly to get the salt off, but last 2 weeks I've been hand drying, I did good before but guess I kinda slacked today since I only had 3 small microfiber towels.

Next time I shall buy like a 20 pack and not leave til my car is 100% dry

Does your car have a hood scoop? If so, I would recommend side scoops as it balances out the car. My side scoops attach with tape only so if I ever get tired of them they can be removed
