I understand...and I feel the same about black wheels...to me they look sinister, Evil...black is the symbol of death..."I see a red door and I want it painted black"...chrome/shiny wheels matter movement here

That ought to complete the picture.
The op asked for opinions, and we gave them.

Old school racing stripes on a modern sports car dont look good, in my opinion. They look ok on old muscle cars.
The only stripes I think are decent on the C5 are the Grand Sport-style stripes on front fenders, which you can buy inexpensively online.
Whatever you do, make sure your stripes are vinyl and not painted on, so that you or a future owner can easily remove them.

For those of you that actually read the post and realized that I was just asking about doing stripes on the roof, I appreciate the feedback. I also appreciate the shenanigans from the other people posting their opinions. I will post pictures after it is done so everyone can give me a hard time.....

Do the roof too...btw I like the stripes and of coarse most the 'Corvette Purists' hate them but I don't care it's my car and I love the look!
Post the pix after you get them installed!!!!

Finished product. Let me know what you think. I personally love it, but I am ready to hear opinions and shenanigans:

The main stripes look pretty nice, really not a fan of GS stripes tho. And with so many I think it's a bit much. Overall still a nice car!

you asked for it. You took a beautiful car, added wonderful front and rear fascias, selected great wheels,and have a beautiful color. Then you destroyed it by adding those horrible stripes and that hidious licence plate surround. One stripe?.....maybe. but all those stripes turned a beautiful, tastefully done car into a clown car. You asked for opinion, Nothing ever sugar coated here. Such a beautiful car ,destroyed by overkill. You took extremely tasteful to extremely tearful. Nothing but tough love and honesty here. But then you asked for it. Apparently you like it, and that's all that counts.. if I liked it, I would have said so...
