Motown

Im in a dilemma. When I bought my car, the previous owner told me that he took the IROC-Z stickers off of the door because they were chipping and looking bad.

In the spring I was going to order some replacements from Phoenix Graphics, but Im debating weather to leave them off to have that clean look? I can see the ghost of where the stickers originally were on the car, so they would be in the correct spot if I did decide to put them on. Heres my car. What do you think?

Throw the decals on and avoid telling people 500 times: "Oh, yeah, it's really an IROC, but.....

But it IS an IROC-Z...not a clone.

People like Iroc's more than z28's. I like Z's better myself but i myself am going to replace mine.

It's a matter of taste. I am currently restoring an 88 Iroc and I will leave them off. Your car looks great the way it is. Good luck.

I agree, theres been too many times people have asked me if mines an iroc or not. I wish i had the stickers for it but thatll have to wait til i get it painted. if your cars paint is clean enough (will last a good while longer) i vote slap em back on. otherwise wait til the repaint.
"IROC-Z" labels are the icing on the cake. imho.

With all due respect, how do you know beyond any doubt, its not a clone?

RPO codes.


Thanks for the input so far everyone!

Yes, put them on

honestly i never liked the sticker on the door and loved that my main iroc doesnt,,,BUT the longer iv been into 3rdgens now (6years), the more i like seeing that decal. one of my irocs has it, and i think thats what helps give it more attitude. so yeah, i do like the clean look without, but not on ALL of my cars. and i noticed yours still has the border stripe all around the car, and that goes hand in hand with the iroc decal. if you want it "clean" take ALL decals off, or have ALL of them on. i just dont dig half and half you know. but hey thats just my opinion lol

You should really remove that black door moulding completely or change it a white color. I would also remove that black stripe at the bottom of the car. After you do all that, then you should throw on some silver or very light IROC-Z stickers. Right now, your car looks too 'busy' with the black stripes running everywhere.

i couldnt disagree more, with all of what you said. I hope you're kidding...
the white irocs are So amazing when 100% stock.

Mr. IROC-Z

iTrader: (1)

Wasn't kidding...The black door moulding completely takes away from the car. I also really like white IROC's. I just believe my suggestions would make his car look even 'nicer'.

Motown

The black molding was on the car from the factory. I can't help it. I didn't add anything to make it look busy. I appreciate your input though.

Mr. IROC-Z

No problem, as long as you are happy with it, that's all that matters.

Normally, I would say 100% put the stickers back on. However, with that black molding, I think your car may look better without the stickers. The sticker will make the car look busier unless you switched to white molding. However, I wouldn't do that. I really kind of like how that black molding looks combined with the parallel striping beneath it. I think it looks pretty sharp just as it is.

ROCFATHER

Just from a lazy point of view (if that makes sense?), the decal is off already so leave it that way! But as someone pointed out, remove the stripes around the whole car as well. Either way its an IROC with or without it.

Nothing makes a camaro look better then how the factory originally made it IMO put a nice set right back on.

aks

i say put them on.

Motown

The more I think about and the more I read the comments, I think Im going to put them on.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

I love the way the iroc stickers that went on the back of the door looked, not so much the earlier front of the door ones. People will respond better to it however if it says IROC Z Lol. Everybody loves irocs

I think all IROC'S should have the badge on! That is one sweet looking Iroc!

If they came on the car, I'd replace them. With that said, I thought they looked alittle tacky back in the day. That's why I ordered my black '89 IROC-Z with the DX3 decal delete. And with that said, I can see myself replacing the decals on my yellow '85 with new ones somewhere down the road.

Chazman would love to see a picture of your yellow 85 Iroc, see that you don't have one on your profile. I love yellow Irocs! I had a 86 Iroc. Hope to have another some day!

Motown

Thanks guys and yes CHAZMAN you need to put up lots of pics of your yellow IROC-Z. Ive only seen like 2 of them.

Don't worry guys. I'll be moving this week and shortly thereafter have it at my house. But the time I'm done, you guys will be begging me to STOP posting pics.

I would put them back on. I don't hate 'em without, but I prefer them on. I also like the stock stripes that you have right about the gfx. ...I would however remove the black door molding, or buy the later "paintable" molding and paint it white. I really don't like the black molding.

85_ZED28

Put them on

Iroc-Z Tone

put them on! I also ordered my decals from Phoenix Graphics & are very easy to install. Just takes patience

I'm not a sticker guy at all, however, If mine were an IRoc I would rock the side graphics!

for me....I bought an IROC for a reason...so I had to put mine back on....I did not put the stripe back on the bottom though.

maroman88

put em on!

IMHO, put the decals back on and take the door molding off or paint it white...

After the decals, get some new center caps for your wheels. I just got a set for my '85 off of ebay. It's all the little stuff that'll make your car pop.

Magick_3

I say leave them off. After having my IROC re-painted I left the stripes and decal off. I just put back the emblems, and the 2 5.7 Tuned Port Injection decals under the Z28 emblem on the rockers. Everyone tells me the clean look is awesome. Check out my ride. It's "MAGICK 3"...

its all what you wanna do, i say take the black stripe off and mput the decals on. the thing is once people start modding them it really doesnt matter wether it a z28/iroc/ or sport coupe. just like trucks once modded out theres really no difference between a z71 and a regular 4x4 because neither are stock any longer

If there is ever a question as to if you should put them on or not, put them on!

Ron U.S.M.C.

I also said put them on previously in this thread but wanted to add = If you want to stick to the black/white theme that's on there already I say go with the black "IROC-Z" decal they are selling on EBAY. (Not a stock color by the way)They offer the original style/print and one that is slightly off so be sure to pick the correct one. I think I payed about $20.00 for mine and the quality is excellent.They have been on for over 3 years now and look as good as the day I put them on. For $20.00, if you don't like them take them off. Here's a photo of a car almost like yours except for the molding is white so you will have to use your imagination.I beleave that is a silver decal.

Ron U.S.M.C.

gscz28,
What a beautiful car.
I notest that the IROC-Z decals on your car has thicker lines than mine. I like it and wanted to ask where you purchased them and if its identical to stock.

Motown

Ok guys. Ive decided Im going to replace the IROC-Z stickers on the doors, leave the original black silver stripes as-is, and also leave the B84 door trim on as well.

I agree with most of you. Original is best.
