I posted the pictures of the Vette show I attended today and lots of you went through them but nobody happen to notice my latest "mod". I went back to the tint shop that did my back window with an idea I saw on another Vette. I had him take out two strips the same width of my painted stripes from the back window and replace them with a lighter tint. It's supposed to look like the stripes go all the way from the roof to the tail. What do ya think.

Hey man those are really cool. I've always liked the way your vette is striped. Very sharp car.

Yes, the wires are vertical and the tint mad stayed away from them.
