Striped the vette

So after painting the rear fascia black a few weeks ago I order some stripes from Mike and put them on yesterday. I still have the red outline to put on but now I'm thinking about just leaving it the way it is. Sorry for the crapy pictures they came off my cell phone.

I think that you need the red.

Like what you have done, but the red outline will set it off better

Looking good so far, but the red would definitely set it off more.

Are your fender stripes also the two color stripes Mike sells? I ordered a set of the Ron Fellows style for my Torch Red in a medium graphite with a silver thin boarder. I just have not put them on yet. What you have done looks great, I agree however that the red will set it off.

Red would look good, but with your theme, I was thinking a charcoal gray outline. Good luck.

the fender stripes are not the ron fellows but the kit did come with a red out line. the stripes you ordered sound cool, get them on and post a pic.

Looks good and I agree concerning the blackouts. You didn't ask and if its good for you that's all that matters.

PS: How tough was it to put the kit on?

I think the blackouts shoud go too. I would get rid of the fender stripes as well. Looks a little odd to me (a little too busy), but it's your car.

Looks very cool! I'm gonna go against the grain and say I like it without the red stripes.

Love the stripes. The black rear I don't know, needs something.

Wasnt to bad putting the kit on but saying that I'm not sure if I would want to do it again. LOL

Not sure how to space the red out line. the kit says there is a spacer that you peel off after you put the stripe down but I dont see it.

Put the red on. IMO, needs a little more color and the red will do it.

To me the stripes look great, the black rear is a little overwhelming. The bottom line is that it is your car so do what you like. I always enjoy seeing how other folks have personalized their cars!
