stripes on firehawks/trans ams are too much, i had blackbird stripes on and i just took them off, it gives it a cleaner and slicker look to it, . . i'd recommend you keep it stock, . . the only time i like stripes on f-body's, are on the camaros . . they could look pretty sweet, . . don't worry though, just take em off if you don't like em, . .

If it's a car that sees the road a lot the racing stripes are too much. If it mostly sees the track, or car shows then I think they are more fitting.

I would say no but stripes can go either way. They compliment some cars and destroy the look of others. Sometimes the only way to know for sure is put them on and if they don't look right just remove them.

I love the look of the blackbird stripes. I think they make the good look more agressive and really make the lines stand out.

Gold stripes and wheels would be nice. I'm partial to matching stripes and wheels though... Don't get them if you are afraid of attracting attention though!
