Default What kind of stripes?

I have black 2000 trans am. Ive been looking into getting some stripes... I love the black car but I really want to set my car apart from other black trans ams. Should I do the blackbird or the full racing stripes? I was getting them from fourthcircledesigns but I also wasn't sure what shade. Theres pewter, charcoal, graphite.... any ideas?

if i had a black T/A and $650 to blow id get these: http://camarographics.com/CustomerPages/DaveBr.htm -these are some of the best looking stripes i've ever seen. so mean. although i'd change the hood a bit -im actually thinking about talking to him to see about doing some stripes like these for my camaro...maybe some reflective sunoco side stripes

but, since i doubt you're looking to spend cash like that, i think some charcoal blackbird stripes would look really good. or even the checkered flag style ram air stripes in charcoal (like mine- see sig). even though i love them on my car, i think the blackbird stripes really look good on black.

The stripes are $170, $110 if you want just the hood. The first car I saw these stripes on was a black one, and it looked sweet. It's also very unique as not that many people run it and has a retro 2nd gen appeal to it.

Heres a couple of more pictures:

go to the camarographics.com website, and look at the ram air stripe kits like the ones i have. one of the pictures in there is of a customers car that is black with charcoal stripes.

thanks crimson thats exactly what I was looking for. Can you put those stripes on with soap and water or do you have to use a vinyl spray?

all you need is a soap/water solution to apply them, and a good/small suegee-one should be provided with the kit- if you dont see it- check the top-bottom plastic pieces of the package they send the stripes in, it's taped there. spray 1) the stripes, 2) the car, and 3) your hands/finger tips VERY good befor laying the stripes. and a heat gun/blow dryer really helps with the application- especially the edges.
