There's nothing orange on your car. Don't see how it would fit, but it's your car, and only you can decide.

If I were to do it I would want to install SS badges that are Orange trim instead of the stock silver trim I have now...and I would install orange lettering on the rear panel....

As previously stated you would need more orange on the car. Get some orange emblems from emblem pros.

It would probably look similar to the 30th anniversary Camaros. As previously mentioned, just be sure to get some complementing orange badges, etc.

I've also seen it before. Looked sick. There's also a white SS here in town with HO stripes that looks good.

hell no!! i got a NBM but arctic white is the color i think looks best hands down. just keep your SS clean. no stripes or anything. dont ruin it dude. look how many camaros just looks sick with just lowering springs, tint, and rims.. nothing much but the cars just have a nice clean sleek look. i personally dont like stripes on these cars.

it'll look like the 30th anniversary, there's a girl on here that has it and I liked it a lot. I say do it! But if it was my white SS, Id have to go with the black stripe theme.

yes, it's fun to follow the crowd.





I say do it, white and HO is a killer combo. just get the decal first of course and if you don't like it, pull it off

how does putting stripes on a white SS ruin it? This might be your opinion but not everyone here has the same taste as you. You think these SS's are "ruined"

Nothing better than a clean car. Want to know about color combos that will make your car pop, check out some color harmony books. You can find them about anywhere. Being a graphic artist, that is what I would suggest. Find a scheme that you want to do, plan it out, then go with it. Plan your work, work your plan.
