not my cup of tea. personally i dont feel that straight stripes dont look right on any 4th gens, birds or camaros.
they just dont fit with the lines of the car at all, and look out of place.

i would look into something else. there are a lot of better possibilities. imo.

and now that i look at it again, i also dont care for the stripes up top. i like how the top half of the camaro looks
when it's all blacked out

+1 you need to follow the curves and run the stripes up to the vents etc. i like the color and basic design though.

^I'm surprised it took that long for someone to mention the roof stripes. I don't care that Chevy made a 4th gen 1 year (30th?) with them, they fucked up, they do that sometimes ya know.

the stripes are not straight. i think the curved lines look gay so i made the edge of the stripe on the body line. the line is a at a slight angle coming down.
