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

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.

Looks great mike. Love the color combo!
Do like mine going all the way down in the front and back better

If you look closely at the third picture, I believe the
plate is from Idaho, maybe an Idaho t8r.
