Should I?
Some may remember that i was thinking of adding a couple of stripes to match a picture of a vette posted
some time back. It really caught my eye and over here there are maybe a dozen C3s and half of them are
painted nearly the same color as mine, copied after my car. before I do pull the trigger I would like some
comments from C3 folks. Over here in Bangkok everyone loves the idea but?
I considered running a standard racing stripe but there are very few American cars here and several of
the Camaros, Chevelles and Rustangs have stripes so I have ruled them out also the BM stripe due to my
vette having a big rear window really don't fit.
Here are a few pictures of the stripes but the color will be a flat black to match the rear louvers.

I like the one on the back. Can't say I like the front one though. But if you like it, I say go for it.

I say no.
Reminds me of a late 60's Chrysler.
All it needs is a couple of Roadrunners on the side too.

Doesn’t have to be a roadrunner to have stripes!
I like the stripe on the back for a custom look.

For some reason those strips just aren't doing it for me. That red colour however is amazing. Love that shade and colour.

Reminds me of stripes they put on late 60's/early 70's MOPARS. I voted pass - your car looks great as it sits
