I like it, but I think the manta and anniversary stripes are too much together. IMHO the wheels look pimp

What kind of orange is that? The camera may not be showing the real color, it's very tastefully done and does look OEM'ish like someone previously mentioned!

I love both the Orange and Yellow paint colors in the photo but honestly both cars are OVERDONE!

Just too many stripes on both cars that make them distracting to look at. For the orange car the side stripes flat out make me ill. As for the hood stripes either one would look good just not both the manta and 35th stripes at the same time. Black wheels on an orange car = yes, but the orange wheel lips scream to be removed at the first curbing.


The yellow car is the same way (same family maybe?). Great color but the wheels are just wrong and to mix a Dick Harrell stripe and a ZL-1 stripe makes it look like a billboard for a vinyl company. The font on the Harrell stripes looks too gaudy for a sleek car like a Camaro. So if it were just Yellow with the center ZL-1 stripes (and different wheels) I would definitely park that in my garage. I would have to rip out that huge shift light in the center of the dash that screams "I'm in high school" but I just love the few yellow Camaros I have seen over the years.

It's nice to see something different, but like others have mentioned, it has too many sets of stripes.
