I know a lot of you folks will not like my newest mod. I think it adds to the car.
Before


After and thanks to Mike at Vette Stripes




All striping is Cyber Gray to match headlight buckets

Your right! I like the looks of the simple hash marks.

Not my cup of tea but it looks nice. I'm just not a fan of double striping.

How much does it cost per day to rent?

Just kidding. I'm not a big stripe fan, and it does remind me of the ZHZ, but if you like the way it looks, then enjoy it.

Tough to judge with the pictures, both really look good, hard for me to be objective as Yellow is not my favorite Vette color. I will say the stripes do look good in the last two pictures.

A little too busy for my taste. I'd go with hash marks only or center stripe only but not both.

If you like it, that's all that counts.

Really makes your car stand out.
I think it's great to have variety. We don't want all Corvettes to look the same. Well done.

I don't like the hash marks on both sides...should only be on one.
