Hey gang,

I'm looking to tweak the appearance of the car a bit ( I know the popular choices are SS hood, Sunoc Hood, SS spoiler, but I'm leaving the body panels as is. )

I'm thinking of doing something in terms of stripes....so as I'm thinking through my own ideas, I'd welcome all of your ideas as well!

Thanks!

A couple of shots as the car is now:

 

Honestly, I like it the way it is. I have seen some dual stripes that get wider as they go toward the winshield. I like the look of those. Two "skinny" stripes on the long and flat Z hood look funny to me. There is a guy around here that has those stripes, but I always see him going the other direction. I see if I can find a picture.

 

Looks sexy as is man. If you were considering stripes I would proably go black hockeys if its a must for you. I looove Hugger Orange.

 

two black stripes down the middle would look good.

 

i have the same thread going also.
my car is close to yours but catenne red with chrome zr1's and i was thinking about eather dual hood stripes or some hockey stripes.
i think a set of short black hockey stripes would look good on your car.

 

take a look at my car.
this is the link to my thread.
tell me what u think.
my car is minus the big spoiler but i would love to bolt up your wheels and see how they look.

In my opinion, black hockey stripes, or no stripes at all. Looks great though man.

 

Guys,

Keep the comments & ideas rolling in....

I like the wide Z28 style stripes...I was thinking of using those with a checkerboard fade. Have the stripe start in black and at the upper end fade into a deep charcoal.

I'm also giving alot of consideration to the hockey stripes...

Of course there's always the leave it alone option too

 

If I were going to put stripes on it, I would put 30th Anniversary style black stripes.

Honestly, I'd leave it alone though.

 

the dual stripe only look good on SS hood's IMO but i'm biased lol i'd leave it alone cause it looks sexy as hell!

 

NO STRIPES. Sunoco maybe with the black sides on the cowl, but not stripes. Color looks good enough by itself with the black accents on the car

 

I'm going to say leave it unless you get a hood. I'm not a big fan of hockey stripes, and generally, you need a different hood to pull off hood stripes.

Your car looks amazing as it sits.

 

Less is more. Leave it be

 

Car looks CLEAN... but from the front reminds me of a plain jane stock Z.

My stripes were on before I bought the car, and I plan to go another direction... but the stock hood definitely needs something to break it up a bit.

I love it the way it is.

 

My opinion as well on a Hugger Orange car. Looks good either way tho.

 

Looks like less is more is the run away winner....the more I think about it and look at it, I think that's the right choice.

I just wish the hood and deck spoiler weren't so bland on the Z....I really hate like hell to change those out, as the paint on the car is in excellent shape.

 

Not a fan of stripes on our cars at all... I have seen VERY few that I thought even looked decent..

seems like your making the right choice

 

I agree that less is more, BUT you can try them, and take them off if you dont like it. Maybe some black Dick Harell stripes?

 

I agree 110%!
