  • thinking of some stripes



    obviously only black stripes would work, maybe dual 8" or 10"...what do you think? And i want to do a pinstripe on the inside/outside of each stripe too. I don't want the rally stripes, but I want the kind like kristens, where they cover the front to back, below the grill to the rear bumper. But I want to do somthing kind of unique...and it may be hard to explain but here goes...I am also going to do the black berger panel mod, and where the stripe hits there, I want the stripe to be pewter over the black berger mod, and where the stripe goes over the "C" and the "A" and the "R" and the "O"in the rear "camaro" lettering, I want those to be filled in with black fillins whilst the black part of the panel where the "M" and the A" are to be pewter....I hope you understood.... does anyone know if this has been done? Pics? and what stripes should I buy? Like, on ebay? Are they good quality? Thanks for checking out my post. All comments appreciated.

      Black stripes FTW... I think they will make a huge difference. If you have a SS hood then I'd say get the anniversary stripes, but just go with straight front to back stripes with pin stripping on the outsides.

            Well, they fit good, with 1 exception. They kind of drag on the front ground fx, only on the front bumper, but I'm going to eventually just mod it to where they don't drag. It's only when I turn the wheel completely at a dead stop. But Im going to fix it next weekend. As for the ride, it rides great. and as for the racing, I don't really race so I wouldn't know, but for like speed/acceleration, it doesn't really slow me down. Thanks for the compliment, most people don't like 20's on a camaro, but it's clean to me. :)

                      ever think about hockey stripes for the side of the car?

                      to be honest, with what you thinking about the rear panel....its going to look like your trying toooo hard to be different. and that NEVER looks good

                      photo shop hockey stripes, with a unique number or word or even symbol in there. then do your rear back panel, pewter inserts in the front and rear then go from there. do some pewter cailpers, with black camaro lettering. there is alot that you can do.

                      you seem to want to work around the panel the most, if you want to do somehting special with that you shoudln't do stander stripes.
