Have you called Mike over at Vettestripes? He might be able to provide a few ideas, and he is local to us.

Not yet. I was looking around the forum yesterday and just came across his name. Will probably be the guy I call when it comes time to do something. Much prefer to give my money to a local joe.

This looks great... Corvette Ed's suggestion is your best option. His cars stripes are first class.

Just my opinion.

Choppy, I have this exact stripe set. I purchased it for my machine silver c6 and never installed them. PM me, and I'll hook you up with a deal 👍😁🤙

I'll probably end up going with one of these two schemes in dark charcoal metallic or similar dark gray over the existing machine silver. Either way, I hope to do a wide body conversion and it would make more sense to do that before adding any stripe and/or paint schemes. So, I probably won't do anything until that happens. I might even change directions by then anyway.


Mods can feel free to go ahead and lock this thread.

Or something much more subdued?



I like more of a "Ghost" look like this.
