Re: Poll: With or Without IROC stripes?

The stripes make the car look longer, lower, and more fluid. Keep'em.

Looking good. Personally I'd go without the IROC or stripe. But that's just me. In the end it's what you like that counts.

I was thinkin about that. I just wasn't sure if that was what i was going for. I really want it to look like a custom iroc that has the old school flare with some newer mods to it. Its my happy medium to either staying factory or full custom

Re: Poll: With or Without IROC stripes?

I just took of the strips off mine a few months ago since the back half was getting repainted. After they where all off I loved the look and will be staying with it once the other half gets painted.

Re: Poll: With or Without IROC stripes?

depends, you going all out performance or a stealth/sleeper?

performance = let everyone know it's an Iroc, keep the stripes

stealth mode = ditch the stripes and decal, and maybe even switch to RS GFX

looks wise I say it's a tie, but you gotta get rid of the decal if you go no stripes

A stock 86 IROC isn't REALLY a performance vehicle at somewhere around 200hp, IIRC. A sleeper, however, can have that stock appearance with zoom zoom. Check my Car Details for more on the sleeper look.
