Yep, should be able to get at any of the Corvette venders. Just make sure that you get the correct one. There is a difference in the 70 and 71 stripes. The 71 that I use to own had 70 stripes. The 70 that I have now has 71 stripes.

Mark, I can't see the value in purchasing a stencil kit for what....$70+?when the assembly manuel gives you all the required dimensions and precise location. Just doesn't seem like it's worth it to me.

My 72 LT-1 had a hand painted LT-1 instead of the decal. First thing I did after buying the car was take it to my buddies body shop, we removed the hand painted lettering, sprayed betwwen the strips and put the proper decal in the car. The Vette looked 100% better after that work. I agree, with the others, the AIM has the dimensions, get some fine line tape and lay out the stripes.
