My buddy does stickers and graphics for a business "Sticker Guy"
I was thinking about having some long black hockey stick stripes for my silver Z. What do you think about them? Sometimes I think they'd look sick on my car and others I think its best plain.

Plain, I had some one off Hocke stripes going all the way down the side and it looked ok for a while then i got tired of them. IMO you need a decent hood to pull of hockey stripes, if that makes any sense. THe flat hood just does not scream performance like hocky stripes do . Also the hockey stripes should stop at the door like the first gem camaro ones. I have since gone to a Ultra-z hood with a dual blck stripe on the scoop and i took off the side stripes. Looks much better now.

Only stripes that Ive seen work for me are the ones on the 1st gen Fbodys and 1970 1973 Fbodys
Those are nice the way its done on the bottom picture the new look.

I love hockey stripes, but not on 4th gens. 3rd gens are pushing it too.

Silver is about the only way to go for the smooth hockey stripes.

LS1s seem to pull off the hockey stripes a lot better than LTXs.
