Hey Big Hank, How about post a pic of the hood with the stripes? I've been thinking about adding them to mine.
Thanks,

Bought the car here in So-Cal 6 years ago. It now has almost 150K on the ticker and many many more to come.

Thanks,
I assume you were asking about my car. Here is another right after I had the plate filled in.

if I recall correctly in the original ad for the C5 vert, GM picked a pewter vert .I fell in love with that pix and still think the C5 shows best in pewter.

Sorry bout that Big Hank, yes I meant Bandit.
Like the stripes. Where'd you get them? I can see they go over the top. Do you have them on the back lid too? Did you fill in the front tag area? Never noticed that done on any Vettes.

The stripes are painted on the car and yes they go over the top and on to the hatch. Yes, I had the plate filler blended in to the nose when I had to have a repair done.
