has anyone seen Yenko Camaro stripes on a 3rd gen w/ a cowl hood.... do you think it would look cool or not really. post what you would think about them if they were on my car.

 

here is the Yenko Camaro cowl hood stripe link...... (it is a big pic)

I've never seen one on a 3rdgen that I can think of, and I don't think I'd like it if I did. It's kinda like the whole SS 3rdgen thing, they didn't make them so it's not cool to pretend your is one. (at least thats my opinion) have the front triangle all solid with out the SYC in it and it might look cool though

 

i was thinking replaceing the sYc with a bow-tie or sBc (small block chevy).......... just thought it would be cool . and different.

 

this mite be pushing it but still would look sweet (the side stripes) i just want something nobody has done befor......... insted of YENKO/SC on the side i would put IROC/Z or something.

I have mixed emotions about this.

Yes, I think it would look awesome, and replacing the SYC does technically make it so you're not one of these "fake" car people.

...However, I'm huge on the heritage of Camaros, and to me, I just couldn't do it. Most stripes and appearance packages are OK in my opinion, assuming you don't actually mis-badge the car, but the Yenko cars are special. I think they deserve not to be duplicated.

...again, just my opinion.

 

I think the first gen side stripes that start down at the bottom on the front fender, go up and turn at the top of the fender and the run back along the side of the car to a point would look sweet on a thirdgen. I think they call them hockey stick stripes. I was thinking of doing this on my IROC when I get it repainted. I was also thinking of doing like a Grand Sport corvette stripe and fender hashes as well but I think either would work well on a 3rd gen.

 

i know how special the Yenko cars are. i wuoldn't get the stripes painted until the car deserved them............ i mean geting into the 12s and lower (with a 383 stroker with s/c) .

 

also i think you people are over-looking the point........ to be different .

 

do you mean this......... (the red things on the hood above the wheel.)

The only problem with using Yenko stripes to be different (even if you don't use the SYC) is that everyone is gonna say " Wow, is that some sort of Yenko?" I think you're gonna get tired of saying "no, but I just like the stripes".

Hockey stripes, bumble bee stripes, DX1 stripes, they're all rather generic to Camaros in general. ...but not the Yenko stripe.


Don't get me wrong, it'd look pretty cool, but I wouldn't do it. Sounds to me like you've already decided! It's all good, good luck!!! Post pics when you're done!

 

hold on , i still need the blown 383 in my car. i only have a 350 block siting in a totaled suberben. so don't whait up for paint pics........ it will be a whiel .

 

Ya, but not in those colors. One of my ideas is to keep the car black and do the big single stripe in medium gray metallic and the fender hashes in like a deep maroon/black cherry metallic. Both the stripe and the hashes will be ghosted in too, I think it will look really sweet. The other option is the hockey stick stripes in gray (or maybe some other color) but probably not ghosted. Its still all up in the air though. I still have some time to think about it.

 

I'll wait!

 

88blkiroc, i think the dark red dashes would look awesome with the silver stripe. :rockon: :hail: GOOD IDEA :hail: :rockon:

 

now thats actaully a good idea and on the hood id take out the sYc and add sometin else possibly z28..or sometin

Abubaca - The only problem with using Yenko stripes to be different (even if you don't use the SYC) is that everyone is gonna say " Wow, is that some sort of Yenko?" I think you're gonna get tired of saying "no, but I just like the stripes".

i disagree i think once they say Iroc/Z on the side and somethin different then sYc on the hood theyd say..thats unique i know i would. If someone knew what a Yenko Camaro was they would know that Don Yenko never made a Yenko camaro in the 80s..(the Turbo Z Yenko Camaro was a 2nd gen mighta been a 80-81 but not sure so maybe i should say no Yenkos ever made on the 3rd Gens..)

 

that is what i'm saying .

 

I like the IROC/Z on the side instead of the Yenko SC. THat would look real good. Another thing that would look good are the hockey stick stripes. Like the GMMG ZL-1. Maybe put "383" instead of 427, or something along those lines.

 

those hockey stick stripes look nice.if i would use those i would make them a little sharper to mach the lines of the third gen .

 

any more ideas post them, even one for your car .

 

I did a photoshop of someones car on here with the hockey stick strips I'll look for it

 

Even a Baldwin-Motion stripe package would look nice. Have the back, behind the hatch glass wrapped in, say white, get an L-88 hood, and put a wide single strip down the middle.

 

thanks man

 

also i was thinking of going with the 5" wing, not the high rise wing, this one...

what type of cowl should i get, i know i whant a 2.5" or somewhere close to that .

 

oo id like to see that too heh

 

r their any pics of the Baldwin - Motion stripe package?? i whant to see them .

 

i think these wheels would look very awesome w/ Yenko stripes . i whant the old school look but w/ todays standers... so i would go w/ 18s. to keep the old school look i'd go w/ hood pins .

(they are kind of like TT2s)

 

the baldwin motion stripes? is this it? if it is it's awesome!

This is not quite what I'd consider a "normal" Baldwin-Motion car....but you get the idea!

 

mmmmm stage 3 B-M camaro....

I think that Yenko stripes would be very cool, as would the hockey stripe (the stripe thats on the 4th gen and some first gens. I really like the IROC/Z in the tail of the yenko stripe!! Old school mixes with new school. But you know you have to have the motor to back up the look.

 

i think i posted earlyer i would put a blown 383 in my car befor the new paint . so its going to be some time befor the paint, b/c i only have a 350 block in a totald truck .

 

OOOOO, the B-M looks nicer than I remembered. I would go that route, with the wheels F-Body Tim posted. That would look sweet.

 

i like the stripes i posted in the link more than the stripes Abubaca posted. still two very awesome cars!

 

i know this is kind of a dead topic, but anyone have or photoshop pics of hockey stick stripes on a 3rd gen yet? This is a good thread.

 

here is a totally weak MS paint hockey stripe I did on my IROC. It looks like crap but it gets the point across.

 

wow, that stripe totally doesn't work for our cars..

you might get away with it on a firebird though.

 

i thought about something like that i think it wold be really cool

 

I've been messing around with thirdgen hockey stripes, and it's pretty tough to make'em look right. I personally don't think the fourth gen hockey stripe is great either, but it's better than the thirdgen.

 

there is a purple camaro that runs around here and it has sliver hockey stripes on it and it dont look bad at all except where the motor size is supposed to be he put NOS and that just makes it look bad

 

I definitly think the 1st gen stripe would work better on the 3rd gen cause its more squared off. I might just have to order a set and see how it works.

 

hrmm I belive I have a picture that someoen made on here with a hockey stripe.

 

that looks pretty good, but i wouldnt take it all the way back to the spoiler.

 

yea i agree, besides that the stripes make a third gen more Handsome
