How would Grand Sport stripes look on my car?






I would be getting them on both fenders, in reflective silver. Anybody want to do a photochop? Or have an existing pic? Also, I have since added chrome 1968 Camaro emblems to the fenders, between the wheel well and door edge, and removed the side molding on both sides.

Thanks,
Frank

I wouldn't do them, especially in cheap-o looking chrome vinyl. Now if your car was blue and would resemble a GS corvette, then I'd say it would look OK. Usually the grand sport fender slashes look dumb on Camaros though. And isn't that a mystic teal car? There's no way I'd stick any vinyl on that paint...it's one of the best colors to ever be on a Camaro.

Unless you have a GS Corvette then it looks bad.

OK then, thanks! Anybody have any alternative suggestions to spice up the exterior? BTW, I have since put a license plate in the holder in the front Oh and yes, it is Mystic Teal Metallic paint. It's definitely my favorite color of Camaro.

Take the front plate off(and the holder) and put a chevy bowtie on the bumper, ditch the amber turn signals for some clears or black them out(I personally hate blackouts and would go for some clears), SS hood or cowl hood, window tint, some tire shine, rear camaro inlays, maybe a SS spoiler, and maybe lower it(I wouldn't, I think it looks alright how it is) my .02

Dropping the car will definitley give it a more aggressive stance. I think the amber signals look fine in the front. Clear corners look cheap in a lot of instances to me. I think overall, the biggest difference to your car would be made with a nice set of chrome wheels. Chrome looks great underneath a mystic teal car. If you do a different hood or spoiler, you'd have to get them painted to match and it would end up costing as much, if not more than what wheels would cost and wouldn't have near the impact.

I can't take the front plate off, I live in MD. Front plates are required here.

Precisely. And, seeing as I'm only 17, I don't need another reason for cops to pull me over...

These guys were recommended to me awhile back when I was in the market for a set of stripes myself: http://www.3rdgendecals.com/
