Post pics of any and all thirdgens that have racing stripes.

I'm trying to get more idea's for them, but I'm pretty sure I want to go with something like this (from bottom front to bottom back)...

 

.

 

eh there just heritage stripes...though if i were to get "racing stripes" id get the same no roof or past front bumper....mainly cause thats how the 69 z28s came and the way they made the stripes on those looked the best.

In the middle of a pretty crazy rebuild:

 

Stripes on the roof and bumpers look awful IMHO. Stick with the 25th style, they look great and fit the car.

not my car but i wish it was

 

back view.........

 

I really like the full racing stripe look, the rest just seems unfinished to me, a bit tacked on. It is personal preference though.
I like the blue one, though the stripes seem a bit wide.

Thanks for the pics so far, keep 'em coming!

 

a true ss racing stripe is on the hood and decklid only. with that said, i think they look dumb any other way.

 

An old pic without the billet grill- (I'll post updated ones later this week)...

 

From the back-(also outdated though, I now have a full exaust with tips)...

 

Last one...

Well fortunately I have an IROC-Z.

 

Down the front and rear bumpers is just overdoing it IMHO.

 

i dont have any pics with me at work but i have a wide single with small borders very very similar to the grand sport corvette striping(i have fender hashes too and they're ghosted so they come and go and mess with peoples minds. I think heritage and regular double stripes are overdone imo

 

I really like the 25th anniv. herritage stripes.

 

Here are mine.

 

 

stripes past the hood look retarded

 

this is my buddy's car next to my red one - i like his stripes, farther than normal, but not on the bottom part

 

Anyone have stipes on a firebird or t/a

 

I always wondered what it would look like with the gfx accented like that.....very good job

 

Texas, do you have stripes in the rear too?

Those look pretty good

 

Hey Deepstage, I love the black part in the gfx! That looks cool and I've never seen it before. Good ****!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys, I had never seen it 4 years ago when the car was first painted. So we had to try it.

 

Regarding vinyl stripes, is it alright to put wax on them??? Until we build another garage at my house, my car is going to be outside and i want some protection against the sun....

 

I waxed over mine for years and never had any negative effects.

 

Alrite sounds good... and Luvmy92, that is a beautiful car!!!!

 

do checker board or flag styl i think it would look great ghost style.

i gotta try it some day....

jeff

 

Thanks, its getting there.

 

ya LUVmy92 show some more pics of ur car! havent seen it in awhile sence i think u just got the new cowl for it.

 

Cardomain Link I need to add more, somehow I lost a few pages from the site and I havent added them back.

 

I guess I will chime in.

Here is a pic of mine, there are more here.Car pics

 

here is the pic.

 

I have to agree I dont care much for the look when they go the whole length of the car, a few can pull it off nicely but I like the hood and decklid better.

 

i think blue with white racing stripes look great, and maybe an outline of the racing stripe for class and style

 

I have a black 95 firebird and I'm looking to place rally stripes on it. My heart tells me go with white but my girl tells me to go with silver. Does anyone have any pics to help me make up my mind?

 

Holy old post. I had a dead thread brought back up. Sweet!

This a thirdgen board. You might want to check the fourthgen boards and/or google.

 

Thanks for the info I'm actully looking in a fourth Gen pics put not many people put stipes on there car it seems. Thats why I asked for any pics just to get a good idea how the color scheam looks.

 

I think pics of said girlfriend will need to be provided in order for us to make the right choice on what color stripes you should go with....

 

You bring up a good point.......just not possible without the pictures of the gurl.

 

 

lol i hope ur not going with the black stripes idea anymore steven. that looks ugly!

 

Nah, my girl doesn't like them at all. :P (She's sitting right here. )

 

Here's my, as others have posted, stupid, ugly, full length stripes. He asked for pics, not negative opinions...

Mine was a 92 RS, my wife's was a 90 RS. Both were the same Radar Blue (purple really, but the pics always come out more blue). I had Artic White stripes, she chose Prowler Yellow. You'll notice she had the 87 only, GTA crosslace wheels, and had the gold centered painted yellow to match the stripes.

I sometimes wonder where these cars are these days...I think the yellow striped one is somewhere in Colorado now, but not sure.

 

here are some of my pics
trying photobucket for the first time so bear with me

how do i post the full size pics from photobuckets and have them come up as pics not http addresses?

 

Find the address and link them. Or just download the pics from there, and upload them here. I never have been able to get the remote linkig of the pics to worth. Despite having the URL of the pic, TGO always tells me the address is invalid.

 

Mine are right in between... They go over and stop after the back spoiler like Stevo's but I don't have any pictures of the rear.
