GOT STRIPES?? I DO!!!!

SO I STARTED A THREAD ASKING YOU GUYS WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST LOOKING STRIPES THAT I SHOULD PUT ON MY CAMARO. AND I GOT A LOT OF RESPONSES. SOME PEOPLE LIKED THE FULL LENGTH AND SOME LIKED THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY STYLE. AFTER ALL THAT I CAME TO THE DECISION TO MAKE THEM LIKE THE 25 ANNIVERSARY. LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS THE BEST CHOICE. TAKE A LOOK AT THEM AND TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK.ALSO TELL ME WHAT U GUYS THINK OF MY CAR OVERALL

Re: GOT STRIPES?? I DO!!!!

Those look real nice. The first pics made it look blocky, but it looks like it took a lot of hard work to make them look that curve perfect.

Re: GOT STRIPES?? I DO!!!!

yah man, it looks good, they really bring out the lines on the hood and make it stand out from the crowd. I also like that you have the front bumper emblem.

Re: GOT STRIPES?? I DO!!!!

stripes look good, I like the black spoiler from the back it blends in to light section but think i would have it blue on top to match the car.

that is exactly what i thought of doing. painting the top part of the spoiler blue and the part of the spoiler on the bottom on back black ,but i might just paint it blue and run the stripes through the spoiler

Re: GOT STRIPES?? I DO!!!!

thanks! I have seen so many full length stripes that look like garbage. I made sure to take the time to do it right!

as for grill, I know, i'm in the process when are these cars ever DONE? Have any good ideas for a grill? I hate the louvered one that came stock.
