I don't care much for stripes that start at the rocker panel and go over the grill... try a set of standard-issue Camaro stripes.

Here's a thread with a lot of pics- not my car, I'm sad to say, but this is a great example of a well-done set of stripes. Check it. Note that this is with a Daytona hood, but the principle is the same with a flat hood.

I agree with jawz...those stripes are a bit big. A good color combo with thinner stripes and it will stand out.

Personally, I don't like stripes. If you do, I would do what the other members suggest and go with thinner ones. Additionally I'd change the colour (blue perhaps)...gray is a little plain for my taste.

personally I dont like stripes or any graphics in that matter. I like the clean look. But hey its your car. So if you wanna do it? do it! maybe make it allitle skinnier though. ALlittle to fat.

I agree with Metalli on this one, the stripes are a tad too big. But like he said, it's your car. You can paint it bright pink with neon green racing stripes if you want( ) Cause it's yours.











p.s.
please do not do that
