Default Appearance Re-make

Ok so this is what my car looks like now:




When i got it i was 16 and was all about the stripes.... well now im 21 and my taste in cars has changed im not really much into the stripes but i still want my car to be diff than the typical white trans am out there. Also I dont like the SLP HO hood on most cars but on mine i think the stripes make it look less choppy and over the top. So i've made some quick edited pics in paint .. not an expert so be easy on me but they are just some ideas ... also i plan on eventually picking up some new centerline drag wheels:


so here are the pics
No BB stripes



No 30th stripes



No Stripes




Let me know what you guys think or any other ideas??

Of the two I'd vote keep the blackbird stripes, the BB stripes look better with that hood IMO.

IMO I would ditch the 30th stripes and keep everything else except go with black instead of red! I think black would look a lot better than red. Plus i'd vht or get clear sidemarkers!

I think you should leave the car as is. Looks badass in my opinion, but if you're bored of the cars looks try changing the orange to some other color like blue or get some camaro 35th anniversay stripes on the scoops. They look really good. Check out the pics on this home page www.camarokingla.com

Keep the BB's, they look great no matter how common they may be. Loose the 30's though, stripe over-kill!

Im not going to lie, I like it best with no stripes at all. I think the clean look with no stripes and those new centerline wheels would look absolutly amazing.
