Those look really nice and tasteful; I think they'd look even better if they extended all the way down the front and back fascias.

Very Nice.

I'm going to put myself out there and ask a question which might be dumb.... but what is "Blu T8R"?

Usually the 8 is used in words to indicate an "ate" sound, so T8R to me means Blue Tater.... Is that right? What is a Blue Tater? Did I miss something?

I like the front the way it is, but it would look better if the stripes extended down the back fascia.

These are my ME1 stripes which got tweaked a bit to Doug (forum member) liking and these will be called DE stripes (Doug Edition )

If you like them to extend all the way down the back facia, order a set and I can custom that for you

Diff person got diff taste

No, no, no...I disagree. I normally don't like stripes at all on the C6, but I think yours look very nice. I have a LeMans Blue C6 and I'm very surprised how nice that looks. I don't know if I like it enough to do it to mine, but if I did, I would do it exactly like yours...do not extend those stripes!

While it does look quite nice, I feel that is best left for cars on the race track, not a touring car like ours. Just my opinion.

If you look closely at the third picture, I believe the

plate is from Idaho, maybe an Idaho t8r.
