looks like my SS when i bought it. it had both hockey stripes and the dual hood/spoiler stripes in orange. they came off the car within 2 hours of owning it...

yours are orange, it looks like a pumpkin car. orange just doesnt go with our cars...

you wanted bold and different. you certainly accomplished it. its just not my thing. if youre pleased, thats all that matters...

I don't care for the SLP either.

IMO a darker orange like SOM would have looked better and still set it apart in a crowd. The bright orange on black is a little overwhelming for my taste, but it doesn't look bad.

If you're happy with it, then to hell with what we think though. Looks like a clean ride none the less.

i took another look at this car, and i ******* love it! like this guy said, you need to put orange letters into the recessed camaro on the bumber. and also paint the calipers orange. and TT2's would look sick as hell!!! PLZ do at least the bumper and put more pix on here!

I personally think you should have one or the other (manta or side stripe)... not both


but it is your car, and as long as you like it.
