I am not usually a fan of stripes especially on white, but on your car it looks nice.

White C5, over thousand people got one

White C5 with red/black CE stripes, one of 2 people got them

So it is your call to make your car likes others or not.
After I got the stripes on my car, I feel naked w/o stripes when I got the new hood

I think white is a very boring color and your car definitely looks more exciting with the stripes.

I'd keep them.

I have that combo on a coupe which you can check them out on my website ... and also, Z06 CE got that combo as well so you know how they look.
The good news is that I just released these new pieces for the vert so your car actually would look better than coupe and Z06

IMO, the stripes look great. I'd leave them if it were my car.

The stripes look good. They accent the car very nicely.

Haha, thanks Mike! I got them from you in the first place, several years ago. I really like your classic stripes, I'm thinking of having you cut me a set of them in royal metallic blue (i think thats the one you recommended) in the spring time. It's 25 degrees here now and in no way do I feel like putting them on! The car is in the garage but I would want it to sit in the sun for awhile afterwards.

For me i like stripes on a white car livens the basic white color up alot.Maybe as the other forum member told you could be the color of the stripes you dont care for if thats the case take the ones you have on off and redo them in another color there are many color choices in other stripes.
