Question Hockey stripes on a Trans Am?????

I was just wondering what it might look like. I did a search and it doesn't seem to have been brought up. Maybe for a good reason, maybe it's ugly I don't know. If some one would like to photoshop it I would appreciate it. I would like to see black ones on a TA with ls1 letters.

hockey stripe = 1969 Camaro heritage.

I don't even like Camaro wheels on Firebirds, that stripe will just look out of place on a Pontiac.

Maybe you could recreate some modern versions of Pontiac heritage stripes? Here is some inspiration:

Yeah, you'll get the same response that I get for my Corvette FRC's. Pontiac people are viscious.

Not to ***** my car around but I was trying to do a little modern day retro thing hear are a few crappy pics https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachmen...chmentid=36704 and also from the side https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachmen...chmentid=37129

I know the bird doesn't match the one on the front plate and I have been flamed for that but it is the same as the one on the back of the car. I also had it outlined, same thing on the pillars and rims. The fuel door is a little reto to just not for a trans am i guess.

Here's a quick photoshop. The picture is too small to put "LS1" on stripe though.

I'm with Nine Ball on this. I don't really even like the hockey stripes on 4th gens. The 4th gens have too much nose for that stripe to look right, imo. I believe the hockey stripe is kinda derivative of the bumble bee stripe the way it contours the nose of a 1st gen. You just can't make that happen with a 4th gen. Would be even harder with a T/A.

I just wanted to see what it looked like, I doubt I would do it especially because of the front side markers.
