Default Got Some New Stripes!

Been wanting to do the stripes since last year. They came out even better than I expected. Satin black with a hint of metallic in them. Goes well with the rest of the black on the car.

Probably will be plenty of haters but it looks good to me. Not obnoxious. Stands out from the rest.
Well done.

Looks good.
Very difficult to get them on perfectly straight. Any deviance shows up in a frontal pic. Yours looks great.

Local shop that wraps cars did them for me. I don't have the skill to do it myself otherwise you can get stripes online from places like www.vettestripes.com

These are stick on vinyl. Same material that they use to wrap cars.

I bought mine from Vette Stripes for just over $450, but both stripes are custom colors so I had to pay a little extra.
