some colors almost require rally stripes

has anyone else noticed that some color options look good on their own while others need stripes to "complete the look"?

for example, my first camaro was victory red and looked good without any striped needed, yet my SIM camaro looks WAY better after adding the rally stripes.

IMO, these are the colors that almost require stripes.
-yellow
-silver (SIM)
-white
even synergy green to an extent.

does anybody agree with me?

what are your opinions?

I agree with you that some colors look better with stripes. But I disagree with the white. I love the look of white and no stripes.

I personally think all camaros need some dressing up. Whether it is stripes, fangs, or a unique design, I feel it gives the car character.

that's kind of funny, because i think SIM and yellow are the colors that need the stripes the most.

I agree, I think the IBM looks better when it's got stripes to break up the blue but I could be biased. SGM looks good with no stripes and so does red. I like blue stripes on white though, white needs help, I think.

IBM and synergy green are currently my favorite camaro colors. if i had an IBM camaro, i would have probably skipped the stripes.

unfortunately, those colors aren't so easy to find as far as new camaros go...

It's just a matter of opinion really. But I think black is the only color that looks better with no stripes at all.
