Default Racing Stripes

I'm thinking about adding a racing stripe to my Millennium Yellow vert. Anyone had experience with vettestripes.com or other vendors? I was going to go with a carbon fiber look straight down the center. Any and all suggestions welcomed. Thanks.

Flat black on black. I've had them on the car for over two years. I love it.

You won't go wrong with the stripe kits from Vettestripes.com. Mike is a great guy and his products are top quality.

A good buddy of mine just put some on his Cyber Grey C6, the hashmarks like the Grandsport has and they turned out great! They look OEM.
Vettestripes even made the custom color he requested (like a jet-stream blue to match his caliper paint)

Default vette stripes

Ordered my stipes from vettestripes, been on the car 16 months, no issues. Black stripe on the hood only, MY Coupe. I had mine professionaly installed, looks very good. Others have installed there own, vinyl is an automotive grade, has held up well in the hot Texas sun.

Thanks.




I also had a shop install mine. But they are from vettestripes.com and Mike is an awesome approved forum vendor to work with. Top notch quality on product and business.
