Stripes on a coupe: douchy or ok?
I'm serious, guys! I have a stock C6 but I LOVE the look of stripes on Corvettes. Would I look like a douche for getting stripes for my car? I don't want people to think I'm a track poser or something.
I realize this seems like a really dumb question but I really want some input.

Complete poser. Lol I'm kidding. Just wait and the "pecking order" guys will chime in. according to them if it didnt come stock from factory then its completely illegal. Me, i could careless. If you like it then do it.

My GS coupe came with the factory hash marks (red on black) and when I got it it had Grand Sport accross the top of the windshield. Recently won a Best 13 at a car show at Muscle Car City in Punta Gorda, FL so the judges liked it.
I personally liked it enough to buy the car. If you go to the National Corvette Museum web site and the Corvette Blvd web cam you will see that a lot of cars are being delivered with various stripes. If you like stripes by all means get them.

Are you talking about stripes or hashes?

Are you talking about hash marks on the fenders or rally stripes that go from the trunk lid over the roof and down the hood. the hash mark not my cup of tea but the rally strips I do like. The end result is do what you like. I added a extende zr1 spoiler to my base vert. I got a snide remark from a guy with a zr1. I didn't let it bug me I paid for it and I like.

Sorry, but that vette looks like what happens when someone spends too much time ordering things from their J. C. Whitney car accessories catalog.
It is a good way to lower the resale value of your car and severely limits your buyer pool making it much harder to find someone to buy it later.
