Looks Awesome!
Is that a re-paint or did you just buff it out and stripe it?
Where did you get the stripe kit?

It was aqua blue metallic, then repainted. The stripes are NOT a kit they are painted on.

It's a prowler front spoiler, and I love the looks of it. However, it was a PITA to install. I don't know if I got a bad one, but it was warped and very hard to keep from twisting. I had to drill a few more holes in the spoiler to utilize more of the factory holes to secure.

For what its worth I think it looks pretty darn nice. I've said it before, do what you want, its your car. So many people are afraid to customize or change the corvette from its original form. Yours is a prime example of tastefully upgrading the appearance. Now all you need is some chromed sawblades and a lowering kit.

Some grey C5 Z06 rims would look good, too. Probably get some double takes at your next cruise in.

You can get the spoiler at corvette central or ecklers. I believe it will run around $180. Thanks for the compliments, but no I did not paint it myself. Maybe someday I will try to tackle painting a car, but not yet.

I love the color, the stripes are ok, and I don't like what looks like red outlining of the red stripes, is that how it is? If it was mine I would prefer the stripes to go all the way down to the nose. Very nice car!
