Stripes and black wheels on my Black C6... What do you think?
At the last car show I attended, there were 4 black C6s IDENTICAL to mine. One was even supercharged... For the next show I am attending, I decided to make the car look a little different: What do you think, and what would you do different (please vote in poll)?

Just my opinion, but I think black with that bright of red is just too sharp of a contrast. If you want it to be different, I'd go for something more subtle, like a charcoal or silver stripe. But its your car, so do what you want.

My vote would be "right on brother"!! if it were up there.
I love that look. Leave it for crying out loud. Super sweet!!!

I like the fender stripes and I like the hood stripes, but don't think they look good together.

I would keep the hood stripes and lose the fender stripes. That would set off the wheels more.

I think it looks bad azz as it is. But I understand you wanting yours to be different. I think most of us do.
If it were mine I'd change up the wheels away from stock. I do really like the red rim stripe. Also I'd lower your ride. Would make it even meaner.

Remove hood stripes and only keep the fender stripes on one side like you have them now. It would look cheesy if you put fender stripes on both sides. The fender stripes are not meant to be symmetrical.

i agree about the hood/fender stripe combo. They both look good in and of themselves, but together, it's almost too much.
I vote to remove the hood stripes and just leave the hash marks.

Going for unique? I can't see the pics but from what I gather, all of the looks have been done before... I did the black rims with red hashmarks, I did it with gray rims (as did a few other forum members), and I currently have the all black (which a few other members have). Chances are, somebody will see you at the next show and mimic your new look! Just do what makes you happy, not just what makes you different...
