I've only seen that kind of thing in person a few times. I have to say - I haven't been impressed with what I've seen. Takes an elegant sports car and transports it to the worst of the 70's.

I suppose others out there have done it better. I can only comment on what I've seen.

I think, if you are putting stripes on, put the kind that can peel off.
Don't paint them on, you may change your mind in the future and get sick of them.

Best IMHO would be a shade of gray just a little darker that your body color

06corvette, don't be swayed by these naysayers (and Jerry Springer fans) who do not share your striped vision. For positive reactions to a certain striped car I know of, read the thread "It was a beautiful day for pictures"
