I never really liked that style of stripe on the LT1 Camaro. I only like the 30th anniversary style stripes because they follow the lines in the hood. I also never cared for the stripes to go all the way down the back bumper like that. Looks good otherwise.

Looks good. MAACO is a good deal if you're on a budget. I had an '81 Z28 that they painted and when I picked it up, I was surprised how good it looked. I wasn't looking for a showroom paint job just something that looked good at a decent price. And it did. I had a friend that had his car painted at a Ford dealer after an accident and it had paint runs all over it. If you get a good shop with good painters it's worth the money.

I can't believe Maaco did that.

The stripes, in theory, look unusual on the 4th gen Camaro when done like that.

But I can't argue that Maaco didn't do a good job making them straight. They look really perfect!

Looks great! I want to do stripes like that, but I have t-tops, and I don't like stripes without the roof stripes.

I really like the stripes on the front-end. I'd never have thought of doing them that way. I'd like to see some more pics of the car from a 3/4 (angled) view. The rear end seems a little much, but I wouldn't really know unless I saw a chop with the bumper black only. None the less, your car looks great. Show us some more shots.

Why can't you have roof stripes with Ttops?

Looks good and I hope it lasts. I had a bro-n-law that got a Maaco paint job on a Mustang. It looked like they did a good job, but within 6 months it started cracking on the bumpers.

Stripes on front look off to me about 1/4 inch, IMO.

I see what you're seeing, but I'm writing it off as light/reflection trickery. The dimple in the nose that the emblem sits in is being lit from the driver's side by the sun. You're seeing the reflection of the sun on the passenger side of the emblem and a shadow on the driver's side. That's making the passenger side look wider than the driver's side.

Of course, I could be totally wrong and it really is off, but until somebody gets out the measuring tape, I'm sticking with my theory.
