Default Corvette Stripes

Does anyone have a picture of this stripe from CorvetteStripes.com in this color combination with the hood closed? It is a Forum Vendor and I have asked him but this is the only pic he has available. I am considering this stripe for my black 97 but would like to see it with the hood down before I commit. Also how dark is the grey? I'm hoping it is Spiral grey or close to it. Thanks in advance.

I would recommend using Mike (I think he is MIKE76052 - but a search on 'stripes' will find the correct Forum name).

His products are as good as they get

Have seen them on a number of DFW Vettes, not a bad one in the batch.
