Mike, I really like your GS and GS alike stripes. Just to be clear, what is the difference between them? Is it the width? The GS looks like it tapers in the front; will the GS alike be similar or....? Also, do you (or will you) have pics of the actual racing and GS alike stripes on your website?
Thanks.
Thanks.

For now, I don't have any picture out yet since they are just released. I will plan to put them on my car and take pictures later.
The GS stripes are a little narrow at the beginning and then getting larger to go on the hood. The GS stripes then flow evenly on the roof, trunks, and wrap around the rear bumpers. It is about 19" wide (I actually don't remember).
For GS-alike stripes, they are evenly 13.5" around the whole car.
For Racing stripes, it will look exactly the same as Jon's TR C5.
On my website, I only have CE stripes for now.
Thanks.

Gotta ask.....how difficult is the install? I've worked with stripes (many moons ago) and I remember it to be a fairly simple process.

Might have to think about that some

I noticed the stripes on the hardtops/Z06s and was curious if they can be installed on a coupe as well. I assume it's as simple as cutting them differently but I wanted to make sure. Also, how permanent are these?

Looking good Mike. I'm waiting to see if you are able to do the stripes for my Motor City Mold hood that we discussed, but if that doesn't pan out, one of these may work.
Question though - on the GS stripes: I have some brakelight red letters on the rear fascia of mine - I am assuming that there will not be any cutouts for the Corvette script that is molded into the fascia so I would not have to remove the letters to install the stripe. Is that correct? Also, how will the stripe in the front go around the license plate frame - I have to run two plates? Thanks for the info.

For the rear middle brake light, you will have to remove it and then install it back after install the stripes.
***UPDATE: On the rear lettering, since couple people already had SS letters so I will have 2 versions.
One design to put new letters on top of the vinyl and don't see any expose body paint. Another design to pre-cut around the letters so you don't have to remove your existing letter but it will expose some body paint around 1/16" depends on the letters as well. Some are smaller and some are bigger. I will use madvet as my pattern.
Or you can cut the stripes to stop right before the lettering and then continue after that like this picture below.
For the front license frame, the stripes will bend around so after you install the license plate cover, you will see a nice fitting.
I will answer other questions later gotta run ...
All of these questions will be in my FAQ in my website later
thanks,
-Mike

how would you handle a car that had the lower part of the rear fascia painted black with the GS alike stripes. Any chance you could make them stop about where the CE stripes stop and have the back edge rounded off?

That middle black part rear fascia is a straight line so if you wanna go all the way to the black part, just can cut the extra in the rear license plate.
But yes, I can round the edge off for you and stop just like CE stripes.
