Stripes are simple to do as long as you dampen the area first. The wife and I did her Monte Carlo, and then did my hood stripes.

I know that you can do it. It's not that hard. Good luck

I saw a Carbon Fiber hood at MTI that looked pretty cool but not sure how it would look on a Yellow Z06. Do people actually do that on nice cars? I've seen the Carbon Fiber hood on Honda Civics before but from a distance, especially on an other than black car, it looked like a primered hood! So I'm not sure if I want to primered hood look! Has anyone seen the Carbon Fiber hood on a yellow vette?

Thanks,
Mitch

They have some slicky stuff that you use in window tinting that works much better than just soapy water (I've used both). Use plenty of it.

I never personally thought about going with strips, except maybe the hash marks, but I got to tell you guys, these cars look really great!

This is the only stripe that I've ever seen that I like, and would consider doing myself.

Nice job!

(maybe I'll see you on the road another day and I can take a closer look)
