Poll - Rally Stripes?
Well, at the CRUISE IN there was a BLACK C6 with RED rally stripes on it and my wife and I both liked the look, but I am sort of uncertain if this is the right thing for me to do, so I am taking suggestions on it.
Here is a picture(s) of my car currently:
Here is a clip of me walking around the car:

I am a fan of the stripes on the hood, I want black ones on my car to match the top color, but my Mrs. is totally against it...
In your case I would say no as well, you have a great looking black theme going, and I think the red would be out of place.

My wife is ALL for it, but I am torn, that is another reason I asked, to bring me back to light. BTW, what about ORANGE and BLUE stripes?

Personally, I don't like stripes on a Corvette. If you and your wife like them, put a set on.

Why?
I will only say that it looked good on Martins BLACK C6. My wife really really liked it, and as I mentioned before I am torn, but like the all BLACK look more.
Appreciate the comments and the voting.

I also like it the way it is ...
but you should find someone who's good at Photoshop and they can put the stripes on your car (in a variety of shapes, sizes or colors) so you could get a view of how it would actually look, without spending a penny
just a thought ...
