2013 2LT RS Blue Ray Metallic (GXH) - Customization Suggstions

Just picked up a 2013 2LT RS in BRM - Absolutely Gorgeous!
I was specifically shopping around for Summit White but I came across a deal I couldn't pass up. Here are my questions: To stripe or not to stripe? Also, Heritage Body Color Matching grille or keep it stock? I've seen plenty of white Camaros with both the rally stripes and the heritage grille and they look AWESOME but the BRM seems to be a low volume runner that I'm not sure how they'll turn out. Does anyone have pics of a BRM with stripes and/or herritage grille to share?

Thanks!

PS: Ignore the winter rims . . . I still think it looks pretty BA, but can't wait to put on the 5-spoke wheels once spring breaks.:help

Great choice of color but maybe I'm a little impartial since I have a 1lt in BRM. I just ordered some red stripes for mine but haven't received them yet. Hopefully by next weekend I have them installed. I will post pics once it's done.

Our Blue Ray is so close to black, I think the unpainted heritage grill would look great either way. As for stripes, if I were to ever put any on mine, I would probably to with a black metallic or a dark grey metallic for the ghosted look. Just my 2 cents!

Love the BRM V6 I had...

I'd go with a GM front splitter and ZL1 upper grill!

Congrats on the new car, looks very nice.
If it was me , I say no stripes, I think the darker colors look better with out stripes, just me.
I'm also not a big fan of the Heritage Grill..

But hey its your car , why do you care what we think , make it yours....& enjoy it...

I have a BRM and I put some dark silver hood spears, gill stripes, and a bottom trim stripe on, and it looks so awesome. I definitely recommend it, it really makes the details stand out against the dark color.

I have the same color... and after spending countless hours looking at photos would have gone the darker ghost stripes if I ever added them.

I think the ones that come all way up on the front bumper are pretty sweet.

I've been leaning towards red stripes myself. . . It seems they'll match the RS badges in the grille and on the rear deck lid. Looking forward to seeing your pics!
