I think the stripes look great Sarge, but it's absolutely amazing how those three alphabets (DMZ) on your license plate bring back memories of that "17th parallel" in Vietnam. I see you're retired 1Sgt. Thanks for your service, Soldier.

I'd like to see a couple more photos showing they look with the smoked top. I've been sorta considering ading stripes and meditating on/off on the targa bar. The solid top stays on most of the time, but the transparent top is on for Spring and Fall.

I really like how yours roll over the rear and highlight the emblem. Any available that extend to the front emblem?

Good job!!!!

Back at ya, proud to have served. BTW, I've had the DMZ plates on different cars over a lot of years, makes it easy to remember the plate number. Here's to ya

Thanks. I bet that you wish that you had that Chevelle now. Of course as a garage mate to the C5.
