NEED HELP TO DECIDE WITH HERITAGE STRIPES AND PHOTOSHOP IDEAS

Hello

I am not good in photoshop but I did my best and want to know your comments about the stripes and which colour I should go!! black, silver or white??

stickers or spray??

I also attached a non photoshopped pic may be someone outhere wants to make the job for me with heritage style stripes!! and may be also on the hood and trunklid ?? (only the roof) because the trunk is not visible!!

Thanks in advance photoshoppers!

I also need the dimentions of the stripes and measurements were to put them exactly!!
any design or measurements are helpful!

Re: NEED HELP TO DECIDE WITH HERITAGE STRIPES AND PHOTOSHOP IDEAS

Well the black will match your grill, the headlight buckets will make it look like a Z28. Try silver stripes, or instead of 2 stripes jus 1 large one with the 2 skinny one on the side.

Re: NEED HELP TO DECIDE WITH HERITAGE STRIPES AND PHOTOSHOP IDEAS

the last pic with the regular stripes, the heritage stripes look dated if they are on a modded car, a stock car they look fine. with your rims its not stock enough for the heritage stripes imo

Re: NEED HELP TO DECIDE WITH HERITAGE STRIPES AND PHOTOSHOP IDEAS

Yep. I've never cared for the pinstripes on the stripes, which is also why neither of my 2 Camaros above had them.

Well, the yellow striped one w.as my wife's, but both cars had the same blue/purple flip flop color for the base

Re: NEED HELP TO DECIDE WITH HERITAGE STRIPES AND PHOTOSHOP IDEAS

Please keep the stripes all the way to the hood, I think it looks way better then all the way to the back of the car.`

Re: NEED HELP TO DECIDE WITH HERITAGE STRIPES AND PHOTOSHOP IDEAS

No roof stripes & no full length.

How bout 1 solid stripe instead of 2 from hood to wing no roof.
