Default Gotta show you this!

I bought my first corvette in january and while visiting this forum came upon vettestripes website. Just had to get some stripes for my vette. I put them on myself today and had to show it off. Easy to do and excellent quality product. Great website too!

They are not that hard to do. The stripes are cutout for the emblem on front and trunk, that centers them at those points. measure center on rear of hood and put small piece of 1 inch masking tape there. These are racing stripes 3, Stripes are 1 inch apart. Follow instructions on website and keep everything super clean. If car paint surface is not perfectly smooth clay bar it first or every little bump will show. Do not let sticky side of vinyl touch together. Racing stripes 3 are New and not on website yet. You will have to email Mike to order.

Mike sells some very nice looking stripe kits. Those look really good on your car.

For some reason I really like those stripes (see my avatar) I painted mine but that was before Mike offered those.
