I am in transition to fix my stripes a little from what you see, to more of a C5R design to include 3" secondary rail stripes. Also, this was a work-in-progress with no Corvette available, so my stripes kinda fell short in length and mostly resemble an MCM type hood cut out, whereas, I want to change them to longer stripes that come to the end of the center hood crease. Other than that, I think it looks quite acceptable. (For me anyways)

ps.....Got rid of the front Corvette emblem and replaced with a 10" decal.
