Default 98-02 SS Stripe Stincils?

Other than the 35th Anniversary Edition, did any 98-02 Camaros come with stripes from the factory like the Berger SS Camaros?



This is a Berger SS Camaro, but I was wondering if the stripes are vinyl or paint? If they are vinyl, where can I get the kit? If they're paint, where can I get some stencils?

I can only find LT1 style vinyl kits. For me, LT1 stripes on LS1 hoods don't look good.

While the stencilsandstripes.com kit looks good, I don't think it looks like the Berger stripes...

What are these stripes called? I know the stinger stripe is the stripe that comes out of the front of the air dam, the manta stripe is a solid stripe over the dam... what are these? Rally?

I just call them Berger or 30th style stipes.


I used to have a vinyl kit from www.3rdgendecals.com. They make nice kits.



Now they are painted.

The 3rdgendecals.com stripes look really, really good as well, but I'm wondering if there exist any factory reproductions, if any 98-02 Camaro (other than 35th Anni) got stripes in the first place.

Oops! Double post!

I think I'm going to e-mail Berger.

Because I want paint. Simple as that.

This is what I want my car to look like, save for a Y3F Z28, of course :

The majority of the Berger SS cars have vinyl stripes on them but few of the owners opted for the option of having the stripes painted on like Andy's blue car above. The red car above looks to have vinyl stripes as you can see the reflection from the clouds above is not glossy like paint would be. The cost for Berger painted stripes was a $800-$1000 option I believe. Andy can give us the exact cost.

thanks for the info
I've seen Andy's car so I thought they were all painted.
Why pay that much for a car then stick vinyl stripes on??? that's crazy

You can't beat the painted stripes

Not a big fan of stripes, but VERY nice rides!
