I love the quality of these stripes, but $135 for a pair of these is just on the edge of being very hard to justify...


They are nice looking stripes. Are the pinstripes that boarder the main stripes applied separately or are they one piece?

Applied separately. Which makes it slighty more difficult to apply, but nicer end result than a single color IMO.

They are actually $125 for both passenger and driver sides. These stripes are hard to design since they sit right next to the edge of the fenders and round cut around the bottom of C5 fenders.
I do have other great looking C5 fender stripes in 2 colors for just $50 for both sides

I got glossy gunmetal Forgestar F14's in an 18x9.5 front and 19x11 rear. Waited 8 weeks for them to come in and last Sunday finally had a chance to mount them on the car. I know they aren't for everyone, and some may like the OEM polished look better, but for now I am happy with the new look.

Need to get better pictures when the lighting is more optimal, but this will give you an idea of the look.
