Custom stripes/other painted??? or go with Ridergraphix "stickers"??? HELP! please

Hello all, first off just want to say, 99 percent of you guys are very helpful, and nice, when it comes to people that dont know much about cars ( i'm pretty much a car virgin lol )

Anyway, i've been saving for a while now, and in 30-60 more days i'm going to be buying a beautiful new black 2ss.

However i dont want a hood stripe package from them, as they dont have the color i want, ( same for the interior but i guess i cant do much about that. )

So i figure i'm going to buy the black camaro, and my original thought was to take it to a paintshop, and have them paint on RED hood spears, red rally stripes on trunk, red gills by the back tire, ( the 3 indentures by the rear tires, unsure of what the actual name is, but u should know what i mean ) Possibley a red stripe on the side of the car as well, lastley i want to get red brake capsules, and black powdercoated rims.


So.. i came across this site http://www.ridergraphix.com/Camaro.html

and we'll they have pretty much everything i'd want in any color red i'd want. ( other then the rims and brake capsules )

So i'd like too know a couple things if anyone can help:

About how much would it cost to do in painting?? just a guesstimate.

Can you tell its not painted if i got the graphixx? and if you can, does that mean it looks cheezy?

What overall looks better do you think, ( im guessing paint )

Bascially, what option do you recomend, and why, also if i were to get it painted, and then wanted a graphixx stripe piece, would it look wierd having that, while other pieces are painted??


So if someone could shed some light on this, i'd be very appriative

Thank you


- Scott
