white- 94 camaro z28
looks good. I like it personally. I'd say ok just because they look kinda generic. but that's me. I would no mind anything like that on one. definitely not ricer.

Other than the wheels, I think the car looks great.

Not a fan of the body.
Stripes look okay. I am impartial on those really.

I'm partial to the stripes as I have them on my 95 Z28 although mine are very similar to the anniversary car of '97 except mine are black on a silver car. Anything that will make the car look longer and lower adds to the image. I also love the ground effects and the color combo you chose is different which, in my opinion, is what you should be going for.
It's a head turner.

Pewter- 2002 T/A WS6
I like the stripes, but I think it would look just as good (or better) without them. I think it would look better without the body kit to be honest. It's still a sharp car. Not all of us can (or should) make our cars look the same; otherwise we'd all have a domestic version of "Honda-JDM-itus". Do what you like to your car, you can't make everyone happy - but you can definitely make yourself satisfied with the car.

I think there is too much going on. The body lines don't go well with the stripes. IMO, do what you like it's your car.

I'll agree. Even though I like a trans am with the ram air and TT II's, it wouldn't be the same car if we all made em look the same. I'm happy with them and the only time I hear someone say they don't like my car, don't like my stripes, don't like my ground effects, don't like my wheels, don't like my tint, don't like my exhaust tips, don't like my tails, it all comes from people from the forums...hell i don't know what to say anymore.
I don't know if any of you saw a post of someone with a bright orange trans am that was all done up. Put down 700rwhp or something and was a sick looking car, but then there were a lot of haters. I'm not sure if it's jealousy or what. I just wanted an honest opinion of my stripes and i'm not sure if i got that or not...owell thx anyways

I think your car looks pretty good, but I don't car for the single exhaust unless the other pipe is in the shadow, I'd get duals

Red Tint Jewelcoat- 2008 Trailblazer SS
I recall that car.
While it would be a GREAT car to drive and the color was outstanding, the body work was overly done to me.
Mine is a black WS.6 on TTII's. It is similiar to many??? Probably. It has a few minor touches. I just didn't buy the car to change its looks. If it needed appearance changes...I would have never bought it in the first place.
To each their own. I don't 'hate' on others work or others tastes.

Always open to suggestions. I know i've gotten quite a few already and i'm not done with this car yet...
Whistler mod, lose gfx, ss spoiler, slp grill, berger panel etc.
shadow, i got magnaflow tips
I'm sure it looks great too, but i was just trying to prove a point. TT II's on trans am's look sick imo and there are lots of nice ones out there. Just wouldn't be the same if everyone had that though, know what i mean.

Car is fine, but get rid of the stripes.

Ok. here is My opinion.
like the stripes, but I would get some differnt ones those look wider than the ussual. if you have those blk stripes compliment it by
1.doing the whisler mod on the headlights,
2.smoked turns signals,
3.change the grill for a black slp with a chevy emblem or a blk billet grill wih a gold chevy emblem
4. get some blk TTm's black with chrome lip,
5. get a nice lincense plate holder
6. paint your calipers blk with chrome camaro decal.
7.finish with a change of nose emblem-check out brent franker for that.
did i miss anything P?
I mean the car looks fine, but if u want to go all out that's what i would do

Pewter metallic- 2000 Camaro SS
Lots of good suggestions so far and some bad suggestions as well. Black stripes with pewter works very well. I think the stripes would look better if they weren't as wide and if they came all the way down instead of stopping by the nose emblem.
If you do plan to keep the black striping, whistlers, smoked turnsignals, and smoked sidemarkers would all work well, but stick to the theme of black lighting or clear lighting whatever you do. Having stock headlights and smoked turnsignals or vice versa does not work well.
If you haven't already painted your calipers, painting them black with chrome lettering will improve the looks of them tremendously.
Removing your side molding is another cheap and easy significant appearance mod you can do if you haven't already.
A nice tag frame and short antenna are good appearance mods also.
The berger panel is a great mod for pewter, but thats strictly a personal preference decision.
What you did with the stock grille looks good, but an SLP grille would look better, but they are pricey.
I wouldn't put an SS spoiler on with the ground effects.
Last and most importantly, are the wheels. If you plan to change wheels, I would do that first. Wheels are the key element in the appearance of a vehicle.
I think your Camaro looks good as is and could look fantastic with a few more key changes.

I like the stripes.
Have you considered a pinstripe outline of the stripes?Drag racing...just another numbers game.
