heritage stripes

hey guys. FINALLY put the stripes on my 92, after putting it off nearly all winter. Took her outta the garage to snap a few pics for ya. The current top is tan ( old and worn ) . Replacing the top with a glass window / black top. Does the tan top look good with the stripes. i like it one minute, then the next minute i dont. Opinions are most welcomed. Thank guys! RYAN

are those actual gm stripes they look a bit different in dimension. i would have went with tan stripes to be different but it won't look bad if you put a black top on.....better change the interior to though, 4 colors is a bit much.

Kandied.. No , the stripes are aftermarket and were custom made by a guy in Cali for me. As to swapping the interior...dont have the time nor the money just yet for it ......but later on in life..i assure you it will be done .... On that note.....what color interior should i swap in there? im thinkin black or red

i'm thinking all the money and time you could have bought a correct edition.....

i'd say black but red was also common with that style.....i didn't think the stripes were factory design as they look completely different. looks good though.

I am going with everyone else on this, black is the only way to go. You know, I love your interior, it's a nice color, thw whole car looks good with the white paint, stripes and that tan leather interior, just needs a black top to boot.

Those stripes had me at first! I didnt think they looked factory. They look good though, and go with a black top and black interior if you swap em.

Ive always wanted to see a red top on a white car with red stripes. A red top, with red leather and red wheel inserts would look killer..:rockon:
