Default Corvette stripes

Ive been considering a stripe kit for my car. I checked Vettestripes.com for ideas but none of the designs are exactly what I want. Anyone know who else sells stripes? Im just looking for other ideas. I might end up having to custom design them but I would like to see if I can find a premade set first.

I think I would want something along the lines of the 2004 Z06 C.E. stripes that would follow the lines of the hood.

Thanks Most of those designs seem very similar to Vettestripes. Does anyone know of other companies?

I am thinking of something along the lines of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia...

http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/ferr...eria-7/432082/

A little wider apart so that they follow the lines of the hood bulge. I like that they are a bit thinner than most of the stripes I see on Corvettes.

What are you thinking of as far as color? Yellow and blue are complimentary colors (opposite sides of the color wheel. Blue stripes will really "pop" on your VY C6.

Also, I think that I read on vettestripes.com that they can pretty much make anything that you think up.

I bet Mike's stripes are distributed by these guys. The pics look like Mike's. If you can dream it up, Mike can build it. He will do just about any feasible custom design. He did my rear stripes custom (I had to send him the measurements and he did the rest.) See Sig.

Vettestripes.com is the biggest stripes company for vettes in the whole world. If you see the style you like, just like BigJoe said, contact Mike and he will do very much anything for you.
Most of other vendors carrying Vettestripes.com stripes so I would order direct from him to get better service.

His CE stripes are flowing with the lines of the hood
