He certainly does. Now I'm considering getting some for my 2006 Impala. Do mods ever end?

Been thinking about laying some black stripes on my Silver Coupe.

Seeing yours pretty much convinced me.

Great looking Vette!!

Hi moserbe -

Very nice - I love C5's with stripes.

In fact, I wanted to do red ones similar to yours on my wifes coupe, but she is not sold on the idea.

Maybe I should do it as a "present" and then she would like em lol.......

Those make your car stand out, but not in an overbearing way.

Thanks for the pics.

best regards -

They look great! It signatures your car and makes it just a bit different than all the other C5s out there. The only downside is now that cop you blew by a few days ago can better ID you the next time you two meet. BTW, What do you have up there? Extended range Canadian Mounted? Sargent Preston of the Yukon?

Ed, you know that I never speed! As for the LE coverage up here in the middle of nowhere.....there are 2 state police cars on duty for the entire county (one of the biggest counties in Pa) at all times. Feel safe? There are no local police where I live. Thanks for the complement on the stripes.

Well I like stripes, and I like flames. These look good.
