They offer some great looking stripe kits and their products are very good.

What Jack said. Great kits and the customer service is even better! I posted in your other thread just before this but, I’ve had my stripes on for 11-12 years and they still look new.

Just saw a striped red C5 the other day, while on the Yamaha. Put out a little effort to run alongside. Worth the effort, but not sure what I’ll think on silver.

You could even get Motion Baldwin's distinctive paint scheme on a Vega!
Of course the base price of a Motion 350 Vega was $4999 (a Vega had a base price of $2100). Base price of a Corvette was about $5200-$5400, so a lot more Corvettes sold than Motion Vegas!

Another Vette Stripes owner here. You can't go wrong using these folks. Great product and service. My car was on his site for a bit (maybe still is?) for the fender hash stripes. I ordered custom colors and they were perfect and easy to install. He was using Avery Branded product and I believe still is.

If I may add to this thread? I have a pewter coupe and I’m thinking of either wrapping the targa and halo, OR doing a center stripe.(full length or stinger/hood style. ) I’m curious about what colors others might suggest. One caveat, black, red or white are not a consideration and I strongly prefer metallic. Thanks in advance.

A blue or very light gray ghost stripe would compliment your car OR a darker gray if you did not want to go with black. I think a stripe is surely justified on any Corvette as long as it is tastefully done. All in the eye of the beholder! Good luck with your choice!

I have wondered what the halo would look like with a setup similar to the new 911 targa. Id post a pic but I started to post before thinking about it It’s kind of a brushed “ish” silver I think. Light blues and on Black I have seen. Would look sharp with a glass roof.

My vert is also Pewter and I'm thinking a light met. charcoal with darker met. charcoal outer lines,
Look up Jersyndicate 's car, it shows the light met charcoal on a Pewter car, but not the darker outer lines. Subtle, but classy! Here it is...

Do you think it might be too much with the dark glass roof? It’s definitely a brushed metal finish, which is available in many vinyls.

Just tried an experiment with a brown metallic vinyl I once covered my radio bezel with. I just used a small piece and it was my first attempt using wet application. You will have to use your imagination, (I am!) but I’d appreciate input from what ever you can glean from the limited view. I cropped the pic so one cannot see the black top.
OP, if I’m hijacking this thread, I apologize, I can start a new one if you would like.

My vette was pewter, and had it wrapped in charcoal with graphite stripes....
