I like the way it looks now! The only thing I would possibly do would get some different wheels!

I would say leave it as is. I think a black stripe would make your black out-weigh the look of your chrome zr1s (and they look great on cayenne red!!!)

They wouldn't look bad, but your car is already a sexy beast. I say leave it be.

Looks good now. I'm not saying DO NOT stripe it, just that you don't need it.
On a side note, Ever think of getting an SLP grill?

no stripes!!! i cant stand the way stripes look on these cars except if its a 02 SS with the 35th anniversary stripes.

your car looks good as it sits. i love the look of a clean, plain, sleek sharp looking camaro. but really, i hate stripes on these cars.

i always get flamed on the spoiler lmao. honestly i took it off then i was going to order a ss spoiler then i kind of missed it so i put it back on. i thinking of having it molded in to one piece.
i have been thinking about color matching the mirrors but i dont know if it will throw off the black roof theme. i might just paint em tomorrow lol.
my project for now is installing my longtubes that will be here monday. thanks for the kind words guys.
