Don't have them, but always thought they would look great.

What color were you thinking???

Thinking black with either a silver or pewter accent around it. The CE model at Corvette Stripes.

I just don't know if its too much. I have the blackout kit on back with the lower bumper in black and the black rims. I don't want it to look overdone but I think it might look really good.

Good thing is that if you go with the stick-ons, you can change your mind if you do not like it. If you LOVE it, you can have it painted later...

I vote yes (obviously )

I like the CE stripes a lot. I am not a fan at all of any swoopy graphics that some cars have

CE stripes look pretty decent on the C5 IMHO.

Though I don't think I would ever put stripes on my car, I have seen many Vettes on the forum with stripes that look great. Forum member Tomboy's vette comes to mind among others.

Here's the fender stripes. Kind of subtle, but I get asked a lot of questions and usually receive compliments on them. Mike at www.corvettestripes.com is a great guy to work with.

Dont have the racing stripes but I had custom painted accents airbrushed with a little flair added to them, they are sort of modeled after corvettestripes vinyl side stripes.
