Hmmm...I think red will look very aggresive on black.

Then again Silver will look sick also, but I think Red is the way to go

Well, you said any input. I vote none. Although, I did put a red windshield banner on my air dam. Looks good to me.
You can see a pic of it about half way down on this page...

cosign with the vote for none... though far back in my past I put one on my old camaro lol. it grew to look worse and worse to me and I finally got rid of it. glad I did.

BUT, if you are set on it, I'd vote black. Not reflective black, just a normal black vinyl. you'll still get your banner, but in a cleaner, more subtle way.

This is also helping me to decide what color to use for the stripes , the ones that go in side of the Sunoco hood, and a spoiler stripe.
Thanks for all your help
Justin

I would vote Black also it subtle or red if you wanna stand out, as for me personally I would rather rep. my car club or something else because most know its a Camaro.
Now stripes I would defiantly do in red or silver, How much do they run?

I also vote for none, but it is your car.

When I see car's with this visor I think "Do they really need to advertise that their car is a Camaro?" We can already see that. Most of the time you see this on imports that says "Honda" or "Eclipse".

I vote none, or Honda if you absolutely have to put a banner on.

I vote none as well. Looks tacky and a little trashy IMO.

Another "none" vote here. I have never cared for banners on the windshield, no matter the vehicle.

Now for a stripe on the side of the hood I would go with something somewhat subtle, like gunmetal. Silver as a 2nd option if you want it to show a little more.

Didn't the pace cars come with windshield banners? Is that considered tacky?

yes and yes, unless you are pacing a race.
