i think it would look ok on a camaro, but almost anyone who knows a little about cars will reckognize that paint job as being copied from a grand sport corvette. thats my opinion. if you do it, leave the red fender marks off, then it might not look like a copy cat.

thanks

I think your car looks good as it is. I voted for the last option.

Don't do the red stripes - looks like you're trying to be something you're not - a Corvette. The stripes look good though!

IMHO stripes only belong on non-IROCs and non-82-87 Z28's (if they are still 2 tone) because is has busy stuyling already

now, if you remove all the iroc stuff...........................................................

(but who would want to do that considering how big of a collectible they are going to be)

I voted for it, but i'm biased. (I made the Photoshop) If I was doing it, I'd probably leave the red hash-marks off. I just stuck them on there for fun. Those stripes are not unique to the GS Corvette, I first saw them on a USRRC 289 Cobra, so the Vette copied them from the Shelby. They must mean something, but I haven't figured out what.

I also wouldn't do any hood stripes unless I removed the striping from the ground effects. It'd be too busy.
