Default Considering stripes and berger panel opinions

Hey guys,

Well I'm pretty bored with how my car looks now and want to make it look different but on a budget. I have been considering putting 35th ann. stripes on it and doing the Berger panel. I have seen some good looking panels on sliver Camaro’s but have not seen 35 stripes. What do you guys think? Pictures would be great.

Here are some shots of the car as it sits( it no longer has the grill, corsa, and put tint on it)

personally i only like 35th stripes onc ars with SS hoods bc the stripes flow perfectly. on the stock flat hoods there really arent any lines for the design to follow. id recommend maybe black hockey stripes goin down the sides of the car. and the berger panel would look nice and its cheap to do, there splenty of write ups floating around here.

but why'd you get rid of the corsa? those tips looked awesome!

after the stripes and berger, get a set of wheels and lower that bad boy and you'll be turnin heads.

If the Corsa is for sale how much. I say no striped just the Berger. And even though your ona budget wheels are a must.
ZR1s and sumitomos are cheap
And polish up your headlights they look yellow

Yeah that’s true, I’m going to be on a tight budget for awhile.. as for the corsa it craped out on me so I went to a true dual setup dumped, and when I get enough money ill run it out the back using the corsa tips I'm really liking the Berger panel high gloss.

Well I would leave off the stripes as others said. The 35th stripes wont follow any of the lines on the Z28. If you really really want stripes do the hockey stripes. But I would do the high gloss berger panel, remove the side molding, and when you can get money some wheels. Oh, and if you are going to do a black berger panel on the back, you need some black on the front. The SLP bowtie grill would be sweet! Your car would look awesome with those things done.

If you go berger..go satin finish..its the medium ground between flat and high gloss
Also..I happen to like the normal stripes..I guess their z29 stripes on our cars....

Do the berger panel. If you put stripes on it, wait until you can get a hood. I like the SS stripes on the 98-02 Berger SS Camaros. Don't put 35th anniversary stripes on that flat Z/28 hood.
