stripes on my z??

i dunno guys and gals, what do you think?

i plan on blacking out the tail panel and putting maroon-ish inserts where is says Camaro...

and i also plan on getting some 10 spoke silver SS wheels (17s)

so IF i do stripes...what kind should i go with? any suggestions?

thanks for your help in advance



i'm debating the idea because of the unique color of my car... if you think i should leave it be lemme know... all opinions are welcome

EDIT: oh and if you need some visual references, just check out my cardomain link

Silver the tail panel with silver stripes, then get clears for the from it will look awesome...!!

Or my other Idea...

Black stripes, black out the amber turnsignals if ure gonna do the black tail panel, 3 colors is to much... IMO, so 1 of those 2 will look sweet! as for rims, Chrome 10 spoke SS's is the way to go, the silver SS 10 spokes are cheesey!

if your car was brighter it would be a good idea, but it still might look cool.

well if you got some clear corners white would look nice. or if you do the berger panel then black would look good.

I say leave it, specifically because of how rare your car's color is.......


and I agree with caleb about the wheels....

the car club decal on the brow is in maroon (done at a cool local decal shop), and it matches very well. so i think maroon inserts would be fine.

as for the stripes, i wanna go with black stripes, silver takes away from the ceyenne red metallic paint.

and as for the wheels, the chrome 10 spokes flake, thats pretty lame... and i think chrome is a bit excessive/gaudy.

Now when did you decide to show up here Ronin? How did you find this site anyway? Weird.

I'd try and get Grant (aka MeenZ28) to do a photochop for you with some colors....he is very, VERY good at modifying car pics to add stuff to them.

I am leaning towards black stripes (if any) simply because you already have the black roof and side pillars.....

Oh, and I'd stay away from the 10-Spoke SS wheels.....not that great looking imo.

I think you should do a silver berger panel w/ silver stripes.. Because you don't ever see any silver panels.. And for the type of stripes, I think the RS ones would look the best..

As for the wheels I don't think SS wheels are that bad, but there are better choices out there..

Heh.. a girl saying "if you need visuals" heh.

Anyway, mind out of the gutter time...

I think the silver or the black stripes would look good, either way you'd just have to accessorize accordingly. Silver stripes seem to look good with those two examples, but I'm partial to black because of the black parts you already have. As far as the wheels, do what YOU want, you're the one that drives the car, not the rest of the peeps saying "no don't do SS wheels" As far as the back panel... something different would be cool, it would be cool if you could get the stripes and the back panel in like... a shade darker than the color of your car, like a dark red.. I think that'd look hot, and it'd be different which scores points in my book.

man i cant believe that girl messed up that SOM camaro SOMs dont need striped and whatnot and then those light covers on bodykit...ON AN SOM CAMARO... geez

anyways....



i was thinking about the black hockey stripes... and if i do stripes, then i'll get clear corners, but if no stripes, then no clear corners... (clear corners look best on silver, black or white cars IMO...)

black tail panel for sure, then if i do stripes, they will be black and more than likely hockey stripes

If I had your car, I'd do silver rally racing stripes, along with a billet grille, and with a gloss black rear panel.
