Default What about CE Stripes



Thinking about stripes for my 2004. Opinions are appreciated. No stripes, silver with red, or solid torch red. What is your opinion? My wife says no stripes but I happen to think they would add alot to the car. Thanks in advance.

On black, I like the solid silver. Silver with red gets a little busy.

But what the hell do I know. I'm thinking of doing solid black on just the hood to tie the back to the front.......

I've never heard anyone say they don't like the CE stripes. Except, of course, my GF

I like silver and red on black. Mine are painted, but the vinyl isnt bad either.

Silver with red would look very good on your car.

Default no stripe

I would go with the wife on this one. I was out voted 1 to 1 when I was considering the same thing on my 04 vert. But instead I got my twin tip stingers and life is great.

I like the CE stripes but would have to replace the clear bra on the hood to install them. So not right now.

Hi, I am supporting vendor that sell CE style stripes for C5 and I am the only one making this is the whole world
Yep, it sounds expensive but my goal to not making any Vette tax so I'm selling these at a really low price.
There is a big GP going on which make your set only $160 free shipping.
If you don't like it (which I bet, you wife may ask another set for her car ) you can toss it for $160 ... just j/k.
Here is my GP link and it ends on Nov 1st.

Thanks for the input. Now is it easier to get permission or forgiveness?
