Hello,

I am going to take the Vette in for racing stripes. I wanted to get opinions on doing the roof. I have both the painted and glass top. If I did the roof and switched to the glass top then only the small section on the T-Bar would have stripes.

What do you guys think looks better. The roof with or without stripes on the roof?

Thank you.......

If you look at the http://www.vettestripes.com/ web site there are some C5 & C6's that have the full stripes with both the painted & glass tops pictured.

Uh oh, get prepared to hear from the stripe haters.

If you are going to have full length stripes which includes the halo, I would go ahead and do the targa tops also.

Some folks like 'em. Starsky and Hutch has nice stripes on their Torino way back when. They were cool. I'm not cool enough to but stripes on my vert. But then again if you like 'em why not go all out and do the roof too?

EZ2BEVILC5

Oh no not the haters. I think they can look cool.......

Been on this forum for a while now and this certainly is one of the top controversies subjects. IMHO the right combo of colors and style can work. I have deleted doing stripes myself but given I have a vert with NBM and oak interior and top I cannot conceive a good color for the stripes.

I say go for it it's your car. Consider vinyl so you can easily remove if you don't like.

Go all the way, or don't do it at all.

How often do you really use the glass top? You may want to skip the glass one, not sure the vinyl will stick as well. I could be wrong, but I feel I've seen on here before something about the off-gassing of that top and causing issues?

I like stripes. I think I'm going to go ahead and have a shop paint me some ... but I have looked at the website ... we'll see. Good luck.

I would say to get the painted top done.

Also, who gives a **** what anyone else says about your stripes. It's your car, do what you want to it.

EZ2BEVILC5

Hey like the prior post you may want to consider the vinyl in case you want to take them off....

Recon_Joe

Yeah ... good point.

They are hideous and will surely make resale difficult in the future . Might as well put a big tall wing in the rear and some spinners on the wheels

woodgrain kit too!

J/K op do what you want who cares...its your ride.

These are painted so not sure I would try that with the glass top.

I like Corvette Stripes; not all of them, but a lot of them.
Heck, you can even make an otherwise ugly Mustang look good if you put the right Corvette Stripes on it.

Yello95

Yea...and BSM haters too

Stripes can look good on any car...I had them on my 1967 Corvair 140 hp 4 1 barrels 4 speed vert...It was a cool looking vehicle...here is a pic of a similar Vehicle but hard top...its been so long that the polaroid pics I had completely turned white...

Heres another similar vehicle I had in 1970 with side & trunk stripes from the dealership...


Noone ever made fun of Don Yenko's Novas with stripes...
To answer the OPs question, I think stripes should go from rear to front to look good .02 registered

Yello95

Dayem...I really like that...

Yello95

And which Corvette do YOU own Noob ??? ...please show us a pic

Good thing you put that hideous windshield banner on. I almost mistook your car for a Hyundai. Now I know for sure, it's a "CORVETTE"...........
