Striped it!
I was on the fence for a while about adding stripes. Black is a difficult color to decide on.
Well, I said what the heck and went for it. I absolutely love the results and so does everyone else so far.
I know not everyone is a fan of stripes but that's cool too.
Thanks to Mike at Vette stripes for an awesome product.
Check out the pics - be sure to view the full size pics, they get a bit distorted when shrunken and it looks like we messed them up

Call me "Mr. keep it original".................but I have to say that I really like it. It is a very classy job, keeping in line with the striping used on the 2004 Commemorative Edition.
My name is CatCam and I approve of this mod!

Looks good. I love that color combo. I might be a bit bias on stripes though. ;-)

Did you put the stripes over (or under) the clear protective film on the hood? Looks like it in this picture. I like the stripes
