Default Added Some Stripes (pics)

I've been wanting to add some stripes for a while, nothing super flashy just something that helps set the car apart from others. I have to admit I like them and my daughter is crazy over them!

I'm not one for mods to a vette but I do actually like this, the blue color of the car with this contrast looks really good.....

Nothing like tasteful, understated, great-looking mods to brighten up another Monday

Looks good, I saw that Corvette at the Pensacola car show this weekend. Nice accents of silver on that blue.

Those look good. Did you have any other colors in mind, like silver?

Must be going on about 2 years for them.

I got them from forum vendor Corvette Garage during a group buy about 2 years ago. They are HID's and give out a lot more light then the stock ones. Took me several hours on a weekend to swap them out, mount the ballasts and run the harnesses. You might also talk to forum vendor/member "Radioflyer". He has a nice set of "light cannons" he developed and is selling as well.
