so my car is a 91 but i love the blue stripes from the IROC's. i was wondering how much flaming id get if i put those stripes on my car. was also thinkin of painting my ls1 intake one of the blue colors to match. i like doin different things.

my car:




the stripes im talkin about (if this is your car, I love it):


someone photoshopped it onto my car (not that great):

 

Try using some blue painters tape & see how ut looks? I think a thinner stripe should look better.

 

Personally I do not see a problem in adding the striping from a different model year since the car is not completely stock anyways.

I had plans to do something similar myself using the 1985-1987 Z28 stripe kits and painting the car and GFX in one of the Z28 colour combinations, even if my car is a 1989 RS.

I guess that is one of the advantages of not trying to keep the car stock by all means. It leaves you the possibility to apply modifications to your personal taste.

 

I never saw the striping as a definitive IROC thing just a minor detail.. I took it off of my IROC

I mean putting the IROC-Z decals on the doors would be pretty hilarious but plenty of cars have stripes on them go for it

 

Yeah I think that'd look great man, do what you want with it. It's not like you're putting the "IROC-Z" decal on it. I think the matching intake would be sweet too.

 

I'd focus on fixing the paint the car already has, first.

 

X2 but once its fixed feel free with the stripes....at least your not doing something totally gay like getting 22's

 

well yeah id get the car painted first then put the stripes.

 

Stripe idea looks good on any black car. Finish the hood by chance?

 

no been busy lately. hopefully soon. been tryin to figure out other little issues at the moment.

 

IMHO-
Do it!! It looks nice!!

 

Do what you want, in confidence.
if someone hates on it, they can take their opinions and shove it up...yeah.

Errks me, when I see people regret their choices (in general) the moment theyre criticized...dont be afraid to be different, ya know?

IMO, the blue trim makes the generic black look more interesting.

 

I like it!! Go for it I was the same way when I wanted to do my hockey stripes. Some people like then some don't but it's your car. Make it yours!!!

 

Nice hood!

 

thanks its not done yet.

 

It's your car do what you want. I think the stripes are in good taste and will compliment your car greatly. It would be a totally different subject if you were tying to misrepresent the car by saying it was an IROC after putting the stripes on it.

 

if you like the breakup of the color, consider just a rocker stripe that doesn't wrap around.

like this...

 

instead of a pin stripe, how about old school flames?

 

not a fan of flames. especially on these cars.

 

Flames just don't look right on third gen cars, however I probably just haven't seen the right flame job.

 

Flames are old skewl...
