You can see the IBM with flat black bumbleebee stripes in my sig. Lots of people pushed me to go with the white, but to me it's too much contrast. I prefer to stay subtle

They happend to be on the car when I bought it, and just left it alone. They are no noticable till you get up on the car. They will be painted on and will be gloss, and while getting that done the front plate will come off, and heritage grill will go on and holes filled in...

IMHO...I think the stripes take away from the car, but that's just me. If you like 'em...keep 'em! I like the clean and mean look of all black.

Love your wheels by the way!!!

Jet, if you do get painted stripes go with silver stripes. That would look kick-ass with your wheels, and not look OEM. Just use the 2010 Camaro silver color for them.

Silver. They tie into the car 100% better.

Me...

I would say keep em if you had black rims. With the ones you got (nice by the way!) I would go silver or none at all.

But it's your car man, do what you want!

Seem like that is what a few people have said. I am going to try and swing the car by the place you had yours done and get him to do mine also. Looks like I will be keeping the stripes.

Next week it goes in to complete my full bolt on, then on to full suspension, axles, clutch, driveshaft, then FI, then stroker motor.

This is just a fun toy car for me, and want it spotless and want to be able to take it to car shows and it be perfect. So need to check out the silver stripes on a car like mine. Anyone have a pic of one ???

PS thanks for the compliments on the car, the rims are COR and came from Tony, ie NINEBALL.
