Default Fender stripes are on!

finally after almost 2 weeks of having these i finally put them on the car... went on real easy and even extended them beyond the the weatherstrip along the side of the hood to the very end of the panel in the engine bay.

i like them they also come with a history in corvette racing and ive read they were used to tell the racing vettes apart... since my brothers black hardtop vette will be here this month i want subtle touches to keep the cars from looking like clones

Ha, and one of these days I may consider getting some more... I personally liked the way they looked on the car...

I like the color contrast on your car and the placement looks great...
