i cant put my finger on it,, but there is something not quite right..... I think maybe the inside of the stripes should be another color,, like on the c5 z06 commemorative one.

Bob - I like your new stripes alot! Really sets the car off nicely. Not over-done, just a nice suble addition. Anxious to check it out in person. Probably see you Friday night. Don't forget A&W Cruise Night is this Saturday also. - Bill

PS - When it comes to stripes, I really got the hots for these Brickyard 400 stripes on Todd's vert! I think they would look awesome on my white coupe also!

Bob,
Glad that you and your wife liked them ...
They are not the way I wanted to install tho ... the hood stripes and the roof stripes are too narrow and not the correct size of the CE stripes that I have provided all the demensions ...
Check this picture and you will see what I am talking about ...
Anyway, I am emailing you now ...
Thanks,
-Mike
