ok when its done, what should i do?

ok i am getting my car repainted ORIGINAL red. and i was wondering if i should put all the IROC decals and stripinig kits back on.
even the small decals under the ROCKER emblems. thanks. i dont know if i should. and i am thinking about what it would look like if i didnt.

i am also thinking of losing the striping and leaving the Door Decals! just the IROC-Z and the little rocker decals!

tell me what you think!!

I think that if the paint job is good enough, you could get away with no stripes with just the IROC door decals (but only if the paint job's killer!

I've seen too many red Firebirds and Camaros with bad pjs and no decals, stripes or anything (...talk about an eyesore!)

The original stripes look cool too. Man... I don't know, I hope I helped alittle. Good luck!

Id put all the striping, lettering and emblems back on. To me it just looks better that way...

Its your car, you should do what you want. You might try asking someone to photoshop it a few different ways (if you cant do it yourself) so you can get an idea...

When i got my car painted I just put the IROC-Z door decals back and left the stripes off...Also i have the little rocker decals but have not put them back on yet because it might be getting repainted. My car is black, however I think it looks good w/out the stripes.
Oh ya, I also didn't have stripes put back on my 88 IROC when it got painted white...looked good also

In my opinion I think it looks alot better without stripes with just the logo. I'm going to get my car redone just black, I don't know what pontiac was thinking about putting stripes on the bottom with different colored mirrors and spoiler(although the black with gold looked OK)
