Love the stripes! Not a huge fan of the chrome though. Good to see people getting creative with their car though

I appreciate all the positive comments. Thanks!

I tried over the many years to make my vette as individual as I am.
I still have all the "stock" stuff in storage so some day I or someone can put it back into the correct factory specifications.

Thanks!

It's "stickon" vinyl. I didn't have the guts to make the stripes permanent without great expense to reverse it in the future.

As a fellow "red" corvette owner, your vette looks great. I also like your choice of wheels.

Looks good except the chrome things on the tail lights, I'd order some tinted tails and that would set the rearend off!

Thanks brother!

Your TR Coupe is pretty well setup. I wish I had all those "High End" stuff you have on yours!

Thanks! I went the "safe route" with the wheels but they do look good!

I took a chance with the stripes to be different and it draws attention. Some good. Some bad.

Thanks! For sure, to each their own. I thought about doing the "black out" gig but wanted to be different. Black outs do look very good! One thing can be said... if a carjacker ever managed to take her away from me, it would definitely be easy to provide an accurate description and she could be easily spotted!
