For me IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE COLOR. I have them on my rally yellow and love the look. My friend has rally yellow without them and it seems like something is missing. My other buddy has a black SS and I think it looks great without them.

+1, I have the SIM and it was just too much silver. The stripes make it more appealing to me. jmho

Funny about the mustang comment my 74 Camaro had a single stripe over the driver side of the car including the roof. I had always thought it original but maybe not.

Mine sat next to an unstriped Black SS @ the Dealer. BORING without the stripes, I love them.

I don't hate the stripe kits but I don't like all of them. I had no intention of putting on a stripe kit until I seen a picture of this car. I am in the process of locating a vinyl company to do these for me.

They are not for me but I do like them.

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...

I was beginning to think I was the only stripe purist here. Some other facts:

1st gen stripes look nothing like the 5th gen stripes, especially at the start/finish of them. Hood stripe should extend all the way off the nose of the car, not turn like a Chevelle stripe. Rear part of the hood should have the closed cap, not extend to the windshield. Trunk is also wrong, it should have the closed cap before the glass, and run all the way off the backside base edge of the spoiler.

Also, Chevy did offer the 1997 30th Anniversary Camaro with roof stripes. The white w/ hugger orange cars. They were decals too. Pic here:

I still dislike seeing roof stripes on a Camaro. That is a Carroll Shelby trademark, which also explains the Viper stripe since he helped develop it. I do like roof stripes on Mustangs and Vipers though.

Just love the car for what it is, stripes or no stripes the 5th gen Camaro is a Bad *ss ride.

That's a loaded question OP. It depends on the car , the type of stripes and the combo of the two. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Most of the time I'm not wild about them.

I ordered them on my SIM and liked them, but after a year of mostly being a garage queen, the stripes still got scratched up somehow. Anyhow, I peeled them off a few weeks back and LOVE the look of no stripes. Different strokes for different folks!:thumbup:

I don't have them but don't hate them either. If I had them I'd want some custom painted stripes.

I don't mind stripes as long as the color combo is good.
