New stripes.
Just applied Vettestripes.com GS1 red stripes. Can't take any real pics until tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I like it more than I thought, really breaks up that monotone white look.

Looks good! Did you do the project yourself or did you have any assistance?
Looking forward to outside pics that show the complete stripe package.

Looks great, I started a thread over in the Z06 forum asking if anyone had experience with Vette Stripes. I'm thinking about doing the CE stripes on my Electron Blue Z. How hard was it to do? Are you happy with the stripes?

I did them by myself. I could have had an easier job with some help, but alas no one was available. It's very tedious work setting up the marking tape after measuring to get everything centered. I even had to remove the rear emblem cause it was a little off. I had to use my heat gun on a few places. I also had to remove the tailights to access the third brakelight and also to remove the spoiler. It was my first attempt at doing this and I'm extremely satisfied with the finished result. As long as you use plenty of water/Dawn mixture you can move these all around until you are happy. Just follow the directions on Vettestripes.com and you'll be fine. Don't get in a hurry! Be sure and wash your car thoroughly. Let dry overnight before use.
Watching some youtube videos on applying vinyl helped a lot!

Rick - the stripes look great - really goes well with the new hood you installed.

I too have purchased from Vettestripes.com and will say Mike is a great guy and he sells a quality product. The instructions were straight forward, but I had experience with installing graphics from a previous car which helped. Mine were simpler Ron Fellows Hash Marks, but the two-tone added some difficulty.
Overall I am extremely pleased and would recommend others to check out their products and shop with confidence.
