stripes or no stripes??

I have a 94Z with GFX can be seen at http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/camaro0 and I have just purchased an SS hood and now I can't decide if I should get the Orange 30th aniversary stripes put on? I the car is not a reall SS and I never badged it as one but I just love the look of the Orange stripes! but at the present time I can't really afford to go and get a 97 SS 30th. what do you think?

I say no stripes. I'm not a huge fan of the orange stripes. I think plain white Camaro's look awesome, but that's just my taste. Plus the stripes won't look as good with the big super wing on your car.

Since I just bought the hood and have to get it painted I would get the stripes painted as well if I decide to get them,

Thanks for the opinions guy's!

IMO, stripes look good, but not the orange ones on a white car. A white car calls for black stripes

Did you get an estimate yet?

I've got to agree with caspergotaz28 on the hockey stripe suggestion. If those arent your style, then I'd keep it solid white. Good looking car by the way!

Thanks for all the Ideas and compliments!

I like the Hockey stripes but I have only seen them on LS1's which have a shorter nose and I find it looks classic and cool but I am not sure how it would look on an LT1??? does any one have any pics?

yeah i agree, he's already has tons of black on the car, black stripes make perfect sense, why add a third color orange? IMO cars look bests with 2 colors, not 3 or more.

I put some fender stripes on my Z with the ss hood - I think it make a subtle statement
