Put stripes on the roof - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey everyone, I just had stripes put on my Camaro today. I've been going back and forth since before I got the car about whether I wanted to put stripes on the roof or not. I thought it'd look cool, but they're not on the factory stripe kits. I decided to go with the roof stripes, and I love 'em.

In case anyone's on the fence about the same thing, I thought I'd post a couple pictures. I also have some "action-shots" of the stripes being put on this morning in my profile album.

Nothing wrong with making it look to your taste...cingrats

Cool! Both the weather and the stripes! Seriously, I like them - they look great IMHO.

Looks good to me. stripes on the roof are personal preferrence. My taste is for single stripe over the roof or dual stripes on hood/trunk only. Now that I've seen non-tapered duals on the roof, they don't look bad at all.

Looks less half-jobbed imo. I'll never understand the "mustang stripes" comments. It looks awesome and if i were going to get stripes of any kind at all this would definitely be the direction I'd go in (more like the Indy 500 '10 Pace Car though).

Even though they go over the roof, not stang striping.

I like it.

Yeah I like em, I always thought it looked odd when you have stripes on the hood and trunk but none on the roof. (don't flame me about mustang stripes) I could see where having a sunroof might get in the way, but w/o a sunroof... why not?

I have been debating on full stripes (down the bumper) myself, like the Indy Pace Car but wider and with a pinstripe to go with.

Looks good, I want white stripes too where'd you get them and who put them on? I'm from Detroit too.

B.Buster · 12-19-2009, 10:03 PM

I like the way it comes from the factory - no roof

P. Ham · 12-19-2009, 10:11 PM

There should be no rules on stripes. Do what you want if you like it. Congrats.

Blueliner98 · 12-19-2009, 10:36 PM
