Wish I had a better pic of the stripes but you get the idea. Silver metallic with red boarder. Looks much better in person you really see the flake in the silver in the sun

stripes make the car look kinda cheap and in person they look even worse. I was really thinking about getting them for awhile until i went to a show and saw a vette with them and decided aginst it.

Are you planning on doing paint or vinyl. If you are going to do paint may I suggest you just do vinyl then if you don't like them after a period of time you can change them or remove them all together. Good luck. On a black vette I like the Comm Edition look Grey/Silver w/red line on the outside. There was a set in one of the pictures above.
