Default CE stripes


Just had my commemorative edition stripes from Vette Stripes applied, and am really happy with the way it turned out.

I am considering these (in some form) for my Speedway White convertible. Something to break up the white on the hood and deck lid. I just removed the rear emblem today since it was really looking bad. Have decided it looks real nice without. But still think some subdued "light oak" color to match the top would look nice.

The Comm Ed stripes would look pretty good and definitely diff in a tan/beige color. You could get them made without the cutout in the rear for the emblem, that's just my opinion though. My car just seemed too yellow and needed something to break it up a bit.

I have them too. What color did you use? Looks bluish. One color?
FWIW, Mike does great work, and I think vettestripes is the best Corvette stripe supplier available.
Mine are Gloss Metallic Black and Gloss White Gold Sparkle.

I used 2 diff shades of a Matte blue color. The inner is Matte metallic night blue the outer is matte metallic blue. I like the way the matte looks more than the gloss which I was originally going to get.

The new stripes look great. Of course, I have always been a fan of stripes on a car.
