Default Stripes on a C5
I`m thinking about putting stripes on my C5. Hood and maybe the rear deck. I`d like to see some pics of those of you that have done this.
Mine is a Machine Silver 04.

Always liked the 04 Z16 Z06 stripes. About the only stripes that look like they belong.

Depends on the color of your car but stripes can really be a nice look!
