I like the stripes, but the Stingray script, not so much.

Your car, your money. What matters is how you feel about it.
I just want the pie.

It's how the stripes end on both front and back that throws me off but other than that..

I like the stripes, but agree the taper, front and rear seems too dramatic. Also, as mentioned, not crazy about the Stingray thing on the hood. However, your car, and overall it is beautiful.

I really love the way they start at the front... If they went all the way down the rear I would love them as a whole.

Sorry do not like them at all. They are well done but in my opinion do not improve the overall look of your Vette. Could be the taper at the end or the color but have to pass.

All the work looks professional and tastefully done. It's not for me, but if you like it, that's what counts.

Not usually a fan of stripes (too racer boyish), but the way they come out of the crossed flags up front and taper back down in the rear looks kinda slick. Like others have said, not crazy about the Stingrays on the hood.

I think the Stingray Script would be fine if it wasn't 3D.

The stripes begin well, but I don't like the way they end. IMHO they should go all the way down. But that's just my .02

I don't like how the stripes end into the crossed flags. How would it look if the stripes end 1/4" from the flags? That may not look right either, but something is just off
