What is amazing about Corvettes is even after 18 years they still look new.
A stripe, if its done right it could compliment the the cars lines.
Nice looking car.

Was that pic taken right after you replaced the coolant temp sensor and washed the engine? Or after the mufflers blew up? :smash:

I'm kind of old fashion. But over the years I've kept every vehicle I've owned (+25) the same way it rolled off the factory line. That way I think you can really appreciate the engineering that went into the design and manufacturing process. Recognize that if you ever decide to sell the vehicle, the new buyer may not like what you've done, but if your intent is to keep and grow old with the vehicle, it doesn't much matter. But like I said, I'm old fashion. :flag :steering:

Re: how would this look? (JWG)
The key is, its your car and as long as it makes you happy, do whatever you want to it. I think that color with a slightly darker pewter/silver would look good. If you wanted to, get some the of the "Corvette" texted hood stripes that Mid America has. I saw a car recently with those and they really made a good impact.
Just my 2 cents worth
