remove it! An IROC without the stripe kit and just the decal just looks so simple and clean

Re: To remove stripe kit or not?

Keep them IMO. For me, it's one extreme or the other. I think they look great with all the stickers/stripes on. But if you remove all the stickers, stripes, and lower it. I think it gives the car a super slick clean look.

i agree 1,000%!!!!!!!!

That car looks badass! Since i could walk ive loved the way iroc stripe packges looked. Without it, it looks like its been repainted, unfinished and just plain-jain. Your lucky 2 have got that iroc with those options that looks that good, and frankly it stands out in a great way imo.
hope you keep it.

Re: To remove stripe kit or not?

also, it would look REALLY plain since you have the refinished wheels, dark tint, blacked out talilights, and WHITE PAINT!

oh ya, btw your car looks SICK, i dont know why but it just looks GANGSTER lol.

Re: To remove stripe kit or not?

I don't know if it would show with white, but there may be some kind of sun fade leaving an impression of where the stripes used to be.

Re: To remove stripe kit or not?

If you mean the factory correct stripes, by all means keep them. It's correct for the car.

Re: To remove stripe kit or not?

John, you know I vote for keeping the stripes. My all-time favorite thirdgen is a stock "appearing" Iroc. Gotta keep the wheels, pinstripes and door decals. There's never a doubt what model it is!!!! ....with different wheels, the "clean" look without stripes looks great too, but there's something about having the wheels/stripes/doors that's just unbeatable!!!!

100% AGREE! a lowered, shaved, thirdgen looks nice, but the original IROC look is just... BEAUTIFUL!
