Just leave it the way it is! Why try and impress people that don't know what it is anyway? I don't think stripes look that great on our cars. Just my opinion.

I like the side flags. I vote for black though. I think I'm going to do that but I have a red car and black rims. What about black side flags with the manta stripe?? Wonder how that looks??

Ive been thinking of doing something similar to my ta but after seeing some of the installs that even pro shops did, im not going to do it anymore.... I am really leaning towards a Hood Bird though....

I say leave it, cuz any color strip you get is going to clash with your current color scheme.

I like the side flags.... haven't seen too many Camaros with them so I think it would make your car stand out more. Whatever decals you decide on though... go for black not white. A black design would look good on your SOM but only if you were to switch to a black grill or at least have something else black, like the emblems.

I personally like your car as is....I wouldn't do it. But I like the idea of the Silver Manta ran all the way back to the spoiler. Try and photoshop that....

i was thinking no when i saw the title, but the pics make it look good.

not sure you need anything on your car right now that hints at racing, considering the ticket you just got.

I say do it of you want it. dont spend money so that other people will like your car. if you do youll always be spending money and itll end up being over done.

Black "old school" style hockey stick stripes would compliment the black roof on the car, and still give it a traditional look....put the flags on it, and if you keep the car, you'll regret it in 10 years. Think about all the pastel colored hotrods from the early 90's

IMO, your car's appearance needs nothing...But if you do anything, I say black colored side flags, or nothing. It will compliment the color of the roof and be a subtle finish for the exterior. I think stripes or anything else would make your car look overdone or gaudy, especially white or grey graphics on SOM.

Your car looks great now but if you were to do something I would do the Ann. Stripes only, I really dont like the side stripes.
