Should I

Should I take off my IROCZ on the side like you guys do? Seems like all irocs have no stickers and no lower side effect stripe. Does it lower the cars value or anything? I think they look way better all black.

Re: Should I

Don't you dare remove those!

Most of the IROCs you see without the door decals are either repaints or clones... keep this beauty original!

Re: Should I

I would not remove them because if your paint and stickers are original, you would always be able to see where they were!

Re: Should I

On any special edition car no matter what it is you should try to keep anything special like that on it.Stickers,decals,emblems it's what sets that car apart from a regular Camaro. To strip it of it's markings in my eyes takes away one of the things that made the car special to begin with.

Hope this makes sense.

Re: Should I

definitely don't remove them. i like mine without because i have custom things done to the car. no longer holds IROC parts. all aftermarket. with your's being stock, it looks much better with the decals.

Re: Should I

Leave em on. I only removed the IROC stripes on mine because it was peeling in some areas. I will put new ones on eventually. However the IROC decals on the doors stayed.

Re: Should I

keep them, however the Tuned Port Injection decals on the rockers should be moved to under the emblem, they are in the wrong spot.

Re: Should I

I hate to say it, but you weren't going to remove those anyway man.. just looking for external validation... Its all good though, you have a sweet ride. I live in El Paso, Texas (can see mexico from my office window) and their are so many Beat-gen camaro's around here that i like it when I see a clean one with original emblems. I say stick wit it.
