stripes looked good on 4th gens, especially those 35th anniversary SS ones,, I dont care for them on the 5th gens, except on some of the dark colors, like silver or charcoal stripes on a black car would look good.

It's all in personal opinion. I prefer stripes myself, but could easily drive a Camaro without them and go with the clean look.

I agree. When I got my car, I planned to paint blue stripes on my car. After thinking it over, I decided to keep it all white with no stripes.

All white and yellow need stripes!

I think orange needs stripes.

At the Chevy dealer, my sales guy showed me an orange one and I thought it looked terrible. Two weeks later I saw one with black rally stripes and hockey sticks. It looked amazing. The right stripes make a huge difference!

Mine has red spears now. I'm not crazy about the rally stripes unless they are flat black.

sspolo · 12-16-2012, 04:41 AM

I plan on getting a white one, but I'm not a fan of stripes.

CRTZL1 · 12-16-2012, 04:46 AM

Big surprise.... I'm partial to stripes on all of them, but I must say white with No stripes and chrome wheels is hot as hell!!!

I love IBM either way.

Both ways look good. It's personal preference. I think they all look good with stripes. Breaks things up a little instead of being kinda plain.

Black needs some contrast to it. When I bought my Black LT last Spring after I got it home I decided it needed some contrast to it. The shiny black looks good on its own. I picked up some 3M Bumble Bee stripes and when I picked up the car after installation was done I almost fell over on how cool it looked. I love them white stripes and don't regret it one bit that I put them on and would do it in a heart beat again.

Except for the 45th Anniversary models, I disagree.

No Camaro "requires" stripes. The Camaro design team put unlimited passion in the styling. Just as Mr. Ed Welburn intended. I think it's perfect.

If you want stripes, get'em. Its about personal choices..and choices are good.

For my black SS, I do not...for now.

I do like the Synergy style stripes, however.

For my Synergy Green - No Stripes..

I had looked at these cars for a few months before I pulled the trigger, one day I called the dealer told him I was ready and changed my mind on color and wanted to go with a black one. He told me I should come down and look at the one they just got in sitting on the showroom floor. After I got off work I headed down to order my Camaro and look at the one he talked about. As soon as I walked in and saw this car without the vinyl garbage on it I knew that was the car, and I was not leaving without it..

I personally think this car SGM would look better with ghost / transparent stripes..

Not dogging what others do I'm just not a fan of vinyl decals on this car..
