I like the look of racing stripes so I ordered some 12” x 60” carbon vinyl wrap from Vvived in Canada and did this. Still working on the back and sides. Going to replace the plane black with carbon. Attachment 48231625
I put mine up on jack stands while it sits during the colder weather. I can still drop it down and take it out if the weather is nice in just a few minutes, but with my soft summer tires if I do not put it up in the air I get flat spots that take forever to go away...lol
Left it in the garage covered up and on batt charger. Our weather about to go in the tank and I am recovering from shoulder surgery. Hopefully I can drive a stick again in a couple weeks, weather permitting.
Too much, IMO. You like stripes, thats fine, but the black vinyl on the gas cap, around the license area and especially in behind the fender slits is wayyy to much. Makes the car look riced out. Maybe it would look better with black wheels.

Black wheels me no like.
But as you say (and so do I) I like stripes. I never had any comments from people before I added the stripes, but yesterday at at a dealer, 5 people stoped to tell me what a great looking vett I had.
So to each his own.
Installed an SLP CAI and custom fabricated an Aluminum Cover to finish it out.
I fabricated the cover to keep water from dripping on the filter element at the forward edge of the hood, but also helps shields some of the heat coming from the engine compartment.
Used 1100-H14 series Aluminum and then drilled for two 8mm Christmas tree retainers at the aft edge, and installed rubber edging on the forward edge to give it a finished look and to cushion the fit-up to the bumper cover face.
Pics for your viewing pleasure.

Saw someone else do this the other day.
So I bought some 1/4” chrome flexible trim at Auto Zone. $10.00 for 20’.
Could have gone with 1/2” but thought I would try the 1/4” first.
What do you think?
