Yeah I think you guys might be right..he did ask how long and I said just not past the bumper. I dont like them passed the bumper, unless it was a z06 bumper.

It also appears in the picture that you have a clear bra that extends up the hood to where the stripes end. If I am correct, that is why they end where they do.

Never mind, that only shows in the second picture, so I assume it is a reflection.

Yes you're very right the clear bra does go up to the bottom of the hood. I think that's why they're so short..looks okay I mean I dont dislike them

I think they look alright. They probably would look better if they went to the end of the hood. But I think they look alright.

Really hard to see. Think I would have tried tape before committing to paint.

I like them - sort of like the 2013 ones that come on the 427 vert.

Reminds me of the 199th anniversary edition- I think it looks good. Nice and subtle.

I like them very much and I don't think they are too short at all... As far as color it was a good choice as well it kind of looks like the centennial edition stripes
