Not my taste

Not to mention, I think adding more Corvette "stickers/labels" is overkill.

Its no denying its a corvette, just my opinion.

It's not for me, but it's your car and your choice. Has too much of a Mustang stripe look to me.

Not for me, but I have to say it looks light years way better than those silly stripes that roll across the top of the front fenders,that appear to be coming from under the hood, that some have put on their cars.
At least yours blend in with the lines of the body.

I would not put them on mine. With that said if they please you that is all that matters, leave them on there.

That was my thought. But if the owner likes it, what the hell?

I hate to knock any project, but you did ask for an opinion. I have to agree with the poster above regarding the mustang stripe look. I have to agree with him on that. To me, that particular stripe treatment takes away from the look of that beautiful vert. Much nicer look without. In the end though, if it works for you, leave it and enjoy! Take care
