Default Need Some Opinions On Ss Styling

I am not sure what to do with my SS its red in color. This is what I have already sitting at the house.

1-slp black bowtie grille
1-35th anniversary slp grille
1-entire 35th decal set from 3rdgendecals

So do i do it like a 35th? Do i do it like a ZL1? If like a ZL1 should i do the scoop outline and the hockey stripes or just hockey stripes? Or just leave it stock looking?

Hmmm.. Definitely do the hockey stripes.. maybe the berger panel also.

I think that would look very cool.. Although I'm kinda partial..

I have the berger panel on both my Z and the SS , I also already have the hockey stripe (the long one) on the Z. I like the short one also but only on the SS when its made to look like a ZL1

Hood scoop and decklid ZL-1 stripe. But do something somewhat original. Add a thinner outter stripe to each side just to throw it off a little bit, nothing over the top just a little different.

I like the hockey stripes. And even if you do go with the aniversery stripes does use the 35 aniv. grille thats painted to match. I think it looks to much the same. I am also wondering what to do with my SS. It is white with 2 black stripes going up the ram air, Chrome BIlllit grill or Black billit grill? Let me know. Hope i helped.
THanks

I like the 35th look, but only on an actual 35th. I'd probably do the hockey stripes (black) and go for the ZL1 look.

i forgot to mention i have the 35th wheels as well but i think i will keep them either way. 00SS9000 i think i would get a blacks slp grille i thought white would look ok but i saw one in town for the first time and i did not like it or go with the chrome. I had decided if i went with a white SS i was gonna do Red berger stripes cause red sticks out so much better on white IMO and the black rear panel but everyones different

love the 35th stuff...love it love it love it !! I have the white hockey stripes on mine, my SS hood is being painted right now and ironically I'm trying to make the same decision but was leaning towards putting the 35th stripes on mine and taking off the Hockey stripes?? I'm not cloning a 35th, my car still had and always will keep Z28 emblems, so don't be hatin............I would be interested in buying your 35th stripes if you go another route....??
