IROC -Z door decal photos - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

ronusmcmma · 09-28-2009, 11:18 PM

Heres the deal. I need some photos of cars with the IROC-Z decal showing. Preferable 88 to 90 cars .I need to compare it to my decal. Ive been told that the vinyl decal of GUNNER-1 on my car looks cheap So I decided to take that in to consideration. Some explanation of why I chose “Gunner” is my handle from the Marine Corps that followed me to prison "GUNNER" is also blasted across my back in 3in. letters .I guess I could change it as suggested but like to be different. Its a personal touch. Also this had some influence.

Maybe not such a smooth move with the Gunner-1 on the side. Its just that I can remember back in the day guys were naming their cars stuff like White Lighting, Dominator,and things like. It was not unusual to see these Novas,Camaros and such set up for 1/4 mile, and had the big rear tires and there names blasted across there doors. Thats kind of what I was shooting for. Live and learn. Even if I wanted to I don't know if the paint under the decals will still be the same shade of red after being exposed to sunlight for over a year.

Maybe more info than necessary but there it is. Ive looked and only found photos that are hard to see. So can you guys help me out with the photos
.

Brisk · 09-29-2009, 08:17 PM

its your car, put what YOU want on it..

not the best pictures for showing off the IROC decal, but here you go;

ronusmcmma · 09-29-2009, 10:45 PM

Wow, great looking cars.Thanks for reply.

ronusmcmma · 09-29-2009, 10:47 PM

I scheduled a appointment to have the guys remove it. IROC-Z It is.Still would like to see more photos

z-man92 · 09-29-2009, 10:52 PM

Don't know if it makes a difference to you, but the IROC decals on the older cars (not sure the years) were toward the front of the door edge, later years it was toward the rear edge of the door. There's one of each pictured from the guys who sent the pics....maybe someone can tell you what years were what.... BTW - I like the Gunner decal.....

1ATony · 09-30-2009, 09:59 AM

Those are some clean looking Irocs

ronusmcmma · 10-08-2009, 08:45 PM

I had the GUNNER-1 decal removed and am leaving it bare for now.Except for the small IROC-Z badge on the ground effects.What a huge improvement.The door paint is like glass and looks incredible. Thanks for suggesting the removal.

wulfgar the pen · 10-12-2009, 04:03 AM

it was 88 and later that the decals were moved to the rear i believe

turbosbox · 10-15-2009, 09:38 AM

ok, i have to ask, prison? how did you manage that?
very nice looking car. i agree with the consensus that the letters look ghetto to me. I personally like the factory lettering, or none would look good also. with the hood stripes and lowers painted red, no letters would look good too. at least there isn't a 'in memory of ...' on the back window

ronusmcmma · 10-19-2009, 09:40 PM

Guy broke into my house. I new who did it and even after being warned by police I went after him . Thats all I can say.

ahhh, that makes sense. i might do the same thing. you bein' a former marine, i figured it was something like that, and you weren't the thief or somethin'

charlielamb · 10-20-2009, 09:52 AM

i think they look better without the stickers, i like the small z-28 logo on the side i have even seen a red camaro with an SS logo on it and i think that looked awesome

yes,
and i think with them on the lower part of the door, it shouldnt have much fade in a year. that is curved under a little, and exposed to the lease amount of direct sunlight, the worst being the hood roof and trunk or spoiler. there you might well see some fade and brighter red under the letters. my guess you'll have no problems if you take them off. of course you could peel a little of one off, maybe the " - " part to check first.

ronusmcmma · 10-20-2009, 10:03 PM

Yes, I did nave the GUNNER-1 decals removed and there were no problems with color fade. Looks allot cleaner. When I get the time and money I will put the IROC-Z from Phoenix Graphics on. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

SupplySgt · 10-23-2009, 03:50 AM

whoever said 88 and newer had it to the rear that is correct. 87 was the last year of it being to the front of the door. I need to get new decals on my IROC at some point

ronusmcmma · 12-20-2009, 05:32 PM

Here It is with the old GUNNER-1 decal removed and the new IROC-Z decal on.

ronusmcmma · 12-20-2009, 05:38 PM

The "Z" on the decal seems to be a little off ( slightly sloped) but that's the way the decal was made. Its like that on both sides. Maybe its gust me.Its barley noticeable.

harner · 12-20-2009, 10:17 PM

It looks fine to me

92purplehaze · 12-21-2009, 05:20 PM

Iroc-Dennis · 12-24-2009, 05:42 PM

I think that's just an optical illusion due to the diagonal middle section of the "Z." If you put a straight edge across top and bottom of the whole decal, I'll bet you'll find it's not sloped at all. Looks great BTW.

ronusmcmma · 12-24-2009, 10:51 PM

Thanks guys. I like it allot better myself. All I need now Is new turn signals and tail lights.

FlamedROC · 12-24-2009, 11:45 PM

IMO looks way better with IROC decals than custom name decals...But heres my 86 with its painted on decals

Iroc-Dennis · 12-25-2009, 04:20 AM

the paint decals must beeing a lot of work pffff !!!

but looks very nice ( only i don`t like the flames )

dennis

FlamedROC · 12-25-2009, 08:27 AM

IROC-Dennis, Ya I don't like the way the flames turned out either...I will be repainting as soon as the engine bay and interior is done

turbosbox · 12-29-2009, 12:06 PM

I wanted to paint my car some bright color that I like. I considered bright pink like the 70s mopars. Ooops, looks like that's been done already, as I saw one going down the road next to me:

Just curious. These are OEM replacment decals are they not?

ronusmcmma · 01-06-2010, 11:15 PM

No they are not OEM replacement. They never offered these in black but that's what I wanted. Bought them on eBay for $20.00.Other than the color they are the same design. Decent quality.The photos.not so great. Sorry.
