Default Stripe ?
Thinking about adding some stripes? What color should I get red or a grey very subtile. Possibly the fender raceing stripes or the hood stripes. Please show pics if you have them. Thanks.

Have a look at RogueC6's black vert which is for sale in the Pacific Northwest section.

One of the best uses of stripes I've seen on a C6

I am looking for stripes too. But I have a clear bra on the car. Do you guys think that the stripes would stick to the clear bra? And do you thing that the extra thickness due to the clear bra would make the stripes look bad?
Thanks
Cesar

Viyl will stick to paint protection film without any problems. Where you may run into an isse at is the edge of the clear bra... if you have a partial hood installed... the stripe will show that edge through it. In other words you will have a ridge where the clear bra stops if you apply the stripes over the clear bra.

If you have a full hood done then its not an issue. We have been applying graphice and then going with the full hood over the stripes... gives it a clear coat look.

Got mine from Mike at vettestripes; he's a great guy, very tolerant and easy to work with. If you haven't already, check out his website then call him, he could work out most any color combo you want.
