Teal would match perfectly

Actually, I've seen white, purple, black, and silver, they all looked good in their own respects. I'd go with heritage style stripes though.

Black or silver,silver seems the best,black is classy but white just stands out too much for my taste.

I used to have a Teal Camaro and I went with silver. Looks really nice with a smaller racing stripe. If you are doing larger heritage ones go with black.
Either way they'll look tight!

I think black Heritage stripes would look cool with black outs and tints. Go with whatever you think looks best though cause you're the one driving it.

I'd vote for silver, especially if you have a grey interior. White would be my second choice, but then no one can accuse me of wanting to be subtile

Anyone know how much for a complete heritage stripe cost? I have T-Tops so maybe it might be cheaper. The lowest i seen is $130.00 any cheaper.

Phoenix Graphix has the best reproduction kits around; they are well worth the cost. My Brother just got the stripe kit for his '86 Olds 442, and they match the original ones exactly. Just remember you get what you pay for

Also, it doesn't matter T-top or HT there weren't any stripes on the roof of the heritage models.

Which ever color you decide to go with, I highly recommend you paint the stripes on. The decals will curl, chip, etc over time. And you should be able to get them painted for about the same price, or just a little more then the decals. If you decide to paint, I also highly recommend using basecoat/clearcoat paint so your edges are covered. You would need to clearcoat the whole hood and decklid.
