I respectfully disagree. Roof stripes on the camaro with the reverse mohawk? I don't think it would look right.

Also on a car with a sunroof, the roof stripes wouldn't look right either.

Love my black rally stripes on Cliffy. It really completes the look of the car, and doesn't shout "Look at me" like the white or orange stripes do.

I wasn't just referring to the Camaro, I was referring to all cars. You'll notice on a car like the Viper GTS, it's got full stripes, and no-one refers to that being a "Mustang" trait.

I understood that, I was just pointing out that certain traits of certain cars would not look right with roof stripes.

Any car with a sunroof, convertables, and T-tops.

To change the subject to non-stripes, and things I totally can't stand. Spinning rims and hub caps, as well as Altezza tail lights.

I'm going to stay true to the 69SS and go with only black hockey stripes on my SW 2011.

The black 69SS I ordered was supposed to have white hockey stripes. I wanted solid black but the dealer said they all came with stripes. It came with red stripes so the dealer and I split the cost to remove them.

2011 2SS m6. Built 8-12-2011. Delivered ????

I like simple schemes but the Camaro looks good with stripes. Our V6 is black with no stripes and will probably stay that way. I love the orange stripes on my car. I'll probably change them to wrap over the spoiler in the back though.

TonyNo · 08-15-2010, 09:47 PM

Count me in for no stripes!

I wanted them originally, but, I don't think it would look any better with them.

I originally hated stripes too but after owning mine for about 6 months I realized how cool some of the other member's cars looked with stripes. It also just seemed like there was just way too much blue and needed something to break up all the color. Just goes to show you that your opinion can change.

I like stripes!

OuSoonersGirl · 08-15-2010, 10:01 PM

Wasn't a fan until I saw them on the 2010 Camaro. I originally had no intention on getting stripes but I ended up with them. I saw the matte black on black and fell for them. I didn't do the matte look after all but I am super happy with how mine turned out. Love them!!!!

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.

Wrong? Not at all. Love the stripes as they are. It looks like a CAMARO, but to each his own.

They are great!

Personally my like and dislike of stripes depends on the color combo.

I will say that I am a purist, and despite what you see at local car shows, 67-69 SS Camaros did not have hood-to-trunk racing stripes, only the Z-28s had them (with the exception of the orange and white convertible pace car). They did have hockey stripes. I bought the new Camaro for many reasons, but one big one was the retro look. For that reason, top stripes were not a consideration for me on an SS, but I won't be hard on anyone that chose them.

Just my $0.02...
