Looking for opinions

I am considering repainting my car the factory white but adding the heritage stripe pattern in cherry black. I have the high rise Z-28 spoiler and the SS hood from ASCD. The paint job is going to be done at a local shop and run me about 1600-1800. Any opinions on color choice/scheme?

I think it will look good. But I don't really care for that black cherry color.. Now white with a bark blue or a black with a blue preal init would look sweet. But I like white camaros. I have had 4 so far all white lol

I think that the blue may be better than the red. Never thought about blue. Saw the red on a 69 SS Camaro once. Liked it. I have a pic that I want to post of a design a friend drew on a pic of a RS. It says it is too big to post, but I want you guys to see. PM if you want to see it. I think it is a great design. Another question. How do I remove the spoiler? I think I need to remove the plastic cover on the inside of the hatch and then back out the bolts to remove it. Is there any risk of a leak through the bolt holes when I test fit the new spoiler? I plan to have it off when I repain it so that they can bring the trunk lid back down the primer, but I wanna test fit it before I take it to the paint shop.

I always liked it but the tribals aren't as timeless as the stripes but the tribal isn't as common as the stripes. I would definitly go tribal, but the price for the stripes is 1600 and the tribal is 2500. I have almost enough for the tribal, but I also am getting duals (I hope) and headers. The money is the main issue. I would be willing to accept donations, though. I think that black at the front afding to a slate into blue maybe at the back would be cool, but more expensive as well.

Does anyone have a picture of the Heritage stripes on a Z-28 spoiler rear end. I found this picture of the SS hood with the heritage stripes, but I can't find the Z-28 spoiler with them. Thanks.

if you're gonna go with any design go with stripes, anything else ruins the car's lines IMO

Thanks for the picture. I am not sure about the flames/tribal. I agree that it looks totaly awesome on paper.... But, you can never tell untill you see it on the car. That would be an expensive "if it looks good on the car." If any one paints their car, feel free to use it. Just not around northeast Tennessee. I may decide to use it later.... Thanks for the input.
