When the stripe becomes available it will most likely be in vinyl. A very high quality vinyl. Not a decal. Paint is nice but not original Corvette.

Dual narrow full length stripes for me.

When I put the full stripes on my 2005 coupe they completely breathed new life in to the car for everyone that saw it. Completely transformed the look.

These are both nice but I really like the silver with darker silver stripes.

, though I think it's really cool how they seemed to match the interiors to the stripes. Clever.

I'm thinking about the dual full length.

I had done the same thing on my '05 and couldn't get over how much it changed the look of the car. Nothing but compliments.

Those would be my pick. I've seen them in person on the Stingray and they really look awesome.

I don't know why, but it's the car the makes the decision, for me, the camaro looks great with wide full length stripes, I think the vette looks better with the stinger.
