its time for my car to get painted pretty soon all the dents r fixed nd now i was thinking of mabey having some racing stripes put on what style do u guys like the best the car is going to be all black nd i was thinking of having whit racing stripes so let me hear your opinions nd let me see some pictures

 

i like the heritage style the best, im not too fond of others at all............

 

The heritage stripes are cool, but they stop at the front edge of the hood. You should decide for yourself if you want them to go all the way down the face (to the front chin spoiler) and if you want them to go all the way down the back to the bottom of the ground effects. If you do go all the way down, get the top striped too (whether you have T-tops or not). But, keep in mind that if you do white stripes all the way down to the chin spoiler (under the grill), then they will probably get scuffed over time (and may eventually look kind of rough).

As for the color, have you thought about having some kind of fade done (maybe silver at the front edge faded out as it gets to the windshield). Or, a red fade (or a fade in shades of red or burgandy) if your interior is red? If you really want something different, how about ghost flames subtlely painted into the stripes? You might check out some street truck magazines for ideas (e.g. tribal flames painted into your stripes). Also, you should decide if you want pinstripes outlining your stripes or not.

 

here's a black one that I used to work on a bit...good stripes on it I thought....it was an 83

 

Why go with the factory stripes... do something bit different

Heres my 87 from a few years ago. Before I got my car repainted

I have a 4" cowl on now, I was going to see about putting the stripes on that hood, but supprise supprise pennslyvania outlawed any cowl over 2" so I might end up putting the old hood on.

 

hey That black 83 is one of the members rides here. I remeber from a post he had questioning something about it being an IROC!! I personally loved the car...It is one sweet ride!!

 

They put restrictions on cowl hoods now???? Thats the gayest thing i think ive ever heard. The way things are going, in 20 years it will be illegal to modify anything to your car.

 

25THRSS, I went to get state inspection and they wouldnt even look at it. There was a law just passed that any cowl hood has to be 2" or under and if your cought they'll pull your inspection sticker and possibility tow your car-or so Im told by by the person doing the inspection.

I had to run home, switch hoods, run back to get inspected, then run home and switch hoods again. Its getting really ridiculous in pennsylvania. I dont know how long that laws going to stay because whats not legal now could be legal in 6 months. There using the excuse that "anything over two inches and noone can see out"

grrrr

 

Ive never once in my life heard of someone getting in an accident because they couldnt see over their cowl hood. Thats just plain rediculous. Just one more reason why this country is going downhill.

 

I have a 4.5 inch, it is hard to see over. I am 6 2 and it is hard to see over. I dont like any laws restricing our cars but I can see where it is coming from. Anyone know if Maryland ahs any laws about hoods?

 

hmm that green looks pretty good. anyones else think so? maybe ill paint my TA that color

 

ure kidding right?

 

lol ssaudio has a pic of my car wah i didnt no u had a pic of my car

 

lol i love my stripes

 

yes your right ssuadio its an 83. i love my new car man u did nice work on her. yup its my car guys i payed 2500 for it cash. i live about 5 mins from ssaudio he did very good work on her lol hey mark its me brian from parishvile u met me last year durring summer time in potsdam i was the blond spike haired kid. that was tellign you that i was going to buy this car. lol its mine now.

 

being its winter time i havent been able to get any good pics of the beast do u have any good ones if you do email them to me at z28monster@hotmail.com

 

i know its covered in snow but u get the point.
its got a tarp on it now thow i felt sorry for it and went out and bought one for it.

 

in VA u cant have a cowl induction hood over 2in either..i think its very stupid..the cowl hood inspection thing goes along in my book with the horn working for inspection i hate horns and i have never owned a car that the horn worked

 

No cowl in VA Either??? Anyone know how high the big block or SS or Ram-Air hood is? j/w

 

Back to the main subject,
Of couse this is just my opinion, but I think the only stripes that look right on camaros are the heritage style... Anything else looks like it belongs on a Ford!

 

heres mine, i have other pics, just let me know if you wanna see more.

 

Click on "1985 Camaro Z28" in my sig, couple pics in there w/ stripes that I love.
