It needs the two color stripe just above the GFX and runs around the car.

Close the front fascia-to-hood gap.

Lower the wipers too.

I've thought about the stripes a long time...

How the hell do you lower the wipers to the rests that are by the cowl? i tried to push them down, but i think the motor has to put them down there.

could be that some one who replaced the wiper arms didnt place them back on the gears correctly. i dont know really just throwing ideas out there.


i agree on the stripe, maybe tint. your right though it just seems like that car is missing something. it looks great but it something is missing.

89, that you posted pics with the car looking so dusty is beyond comprehension . BTW, I like the stripeless version. Looks cleaner somehow.

Looks like it was repainted and theyj sut didnt put the stripes on it. You could get IROCs without those. Its rare but it happened. It also has the 91-92 bowtie grille on it, but those look better anyway.

Re: Need Opinions...Is Something Outa Place or Missing on my IROC

If you look really close at the wipers - there is a little tab that moves out - move the tab out, and pull the entire wiper arm straight up - then replace just one notch downwards on the splined shaft.

The front lights look really nice and clear - maybe get the clear side markers to match since your front turn signal lights and fogs are so shiny clear.

If the dust is just really killing your mood, you could always sell me the car for say $750 and then your problem would be solved
