all the chrome will be flat black and the wheels are black with a chrome lip. along with a black tail light panel..

My personal opinion is the correct 69 stripe (hockey stick) .... I think it still works with the wheels and so forth and I think it really looks good on the newer cars also. I think that is the stripe I am gonna do on my Orange 69 unless I do a Yenko stripe . Very nice looking car by the way..!!!

The Grand sport stripes look very good also. I bet you could get someone to photoshop the picture you have posted several different ways to really see what it would look like. I think the chrome lipped black wheel looks 100% better than all black also. We put a black rim with a polished ring on our black Tahoe and it looks killer. Are you doing body color bumpers ? How about spoilers ?

yeah i have a pic of the wheels in the build thread. the bumpers are smoothed and are the color of the body as well. i modified the rear spoiler to be adjustable and it will be body color on top and flat black on the rear (i think) with flat black struts

I am not sure what you should do on your 69 but you could not have used a cooler example to show it. :cool:

Yes that is the RPO DX1 stripe (though it's hard to see the stripes running up the center of the hood, in that picture....here's one that shows it a bit better.)

Stencil kits for this stripe are available from Phoenix Graphix and Stencils & Stripes Unlimited, among others.

Yea that's the DX1 stripe. That's Nineball's Hugger Orange SS350 car.

the hockey stripes are always sweet. just my .02

Love the nose stripe -- but I'd eliminate it going up onto the hood... just a nice simple band (like the one shown) on the nose.

You and everyone here are making great cases for hiring designers. It's not cheap for a good one but it's a lot cheaper than a lame paint job you regret putting on.

I like the hockey on the 69 camaro. Its been my favorit since I was a kid. Each to their own though.
