What do you think about my stripes?

ALright so how do these suckers look? They are decals and not painted on....







Silver on black look alright to you?? Cuase it isn't my car its my friends, but I am thinking of buying the same kit he bought for my car. since mine is the same damn black RS he has.

Looks good to me, and I don't usually go for stripes

Is the reason you're thinking of stripes the fact that you want more than just black on your car? If so, go for it Un4givin. But if not, keep the car all black, man. Nothin' beats that look IMO

I thought you said "your stripes" so you mean your friends stripes??? Anyway, I think they look good, silver on black is always great, that or I would second white..

Looks good

Yeah, those look great, Heritage stripes are nice, but not overdone like the stripes that go all the way down the car and on the roof.

As someone who absolutely detests stripes, especially on Camaros , I have to say that I think they look real sweet. That is the way Chevy should have released the colors in the first place imho (choice of stripe color instead of just red).

Yeah, cause every time I see a car with stripes, I think of pickup trucks.

I haven't heard from you in a while. I was hoping you would actually say something intelligent, but I was wrong.

At least you kept it looking the original, right way and didn't put the things on the roof. LOL

i like the stripes, but I personally don't like them on a base hood. they are a tiny bit better on the z/28 hood, but I LOVE the way they look on a 2 1/4" cowl hood.

The stripes look good but for some reason they just look like stickers and not painted.

i know they are stickers but somehow i can tell that glancing quickly

That is because the paint is very glossy, and the decals aren't.

I think those look really good. They define the car and add a nice contrast to the black color. If you like them on your friend's car, I'd say go for it.

I think they look "alright".. My car was originally artic white w/ red stripes. Then i decided to paint it black and put stripes on it. When i got a tatse of it all black....i would never go with a stripe... The black looks way to awesome to ruin it with stipes!!!
