Do you hate stripes? I hate stripes.

I'll start off by saying that this isn't meant to be a negative thread. To each his own and I respect every Camaro owner's choices.

I'm just curious how many of you out there hate the look of the stripes on the Camaro. I can't stand them and it almost seems like I'm in the minority on this here. Lol.

Anybody else dislike the stripes?

P.S.

I also hate the GFX.

originally i did, but im thinking of stripes now. i didnt really like the color options for stripes that would look good with my car. i really hate the color white and that is what would look good with ibm. i also didnt like the rally stripes. now im thinking of getting the transformer stripes in the color silver. this all started with me seeing a ibm camaro with silver rally stripes and after seeing it in person i really really liked it i thought it was hot!

99% of the stripes are "wrong". Stripes on the hood and trunklid, but NOT on the roof and front and rear bumpers covers looks horribly wrong to me.

A striped car should look like it drove under a "stripe-dripping paint machine". The stripes should go from the very font to the very back, otherwise it just doesn't look right.

One of the reasons I ordered a car without them.

I like the stripes just as they are... they remind me of the stripes that were on the 68 and 69 camaros, and also the 70 chevelles....

if stripes on the roof look better to you, buy a mustang.

Thanks for respecting those with stripes. I have to admit, I chose stripes at the last minute, when ordering my car, and I like how they emphasize the base color. On the flip side, I would have been happy without, less maintence, and the Camaro still looks awesome. I was parked next to a fellow forum member, who doesn't have stripes, and his car seemed to have a wider stance look. In the end, to each their own.

Roof stripes are, and always have been a Mustang trait.
