Did you have an " Alzheimer's" moment?
Almost! Actually I realized I posted on the Z06/ZR1 forum by accident. Meant to post on the general forum so I just reposted as I didn't know how to delete the post from the other forum.

Funny thing though, I've been following another thread on rear exhaust cover plates and a member went nuclear when someone put the Jake emblem on his, saying how stupid it looked! Wait till he sees this! Nice job. Would look pretty cool on my machine silver.
LOL. Yes he will be freaking out! They would look good on your silver. Vettestripes.com
Thanks

I bought my stripes from Mike too, and also had them installed by him personally. Mine were a custom cut that included the 1/4 inch outside stripe added to the typical stripe, as well as a hand-crafted section to accommodate the extended ZR1 spoiler. I dropped it off early Saturday morning and picked it up on Sunday. He told me he'd worked on it all day, and had stayed up until 1:30 in the morning to get it done for me to pick it up at the agreed upon time of Sunday morning. I have absolutely no complaints, and I give him props every chance I get. I ended up taking 2nd place in a car show later that afternoon, and it was primarily because of the stripes and the under hood parts. I hadn't done my interior at that time; it was still bone stock other than leather door handle wraps and Lloyd's mats.
Mike sent me a pic of your car to show what the stripes would look like going over the ZR1 spoiler. That's what convinced me to do it. Yours looks great too! Wish I had been close enough for him to install mine but about 10 or so hours away

I'm glad I was able to help out, although indirectly, and thank you. Mike did an awesome job on mine. I get compliments on the stripes all the time.

Your stripes look great! I had stripes from Mike on an '06. I got a lot of positive comments and it changes the whole look of the car. Would like to put them on my '13 GS, but it's got to much going on already.
Nice job!
