I like racing stripes, these look good and are a nice color combo, unique vs what I've normally seen.
You've the best of both worlds, ever have a change of heart & tire of 'em?
Those stripes can easily come right off.

Now, get out & strut your stuff w/ your beautiful C6.

I didn’t say that I didn’t like them. Someone is a little testy this AM.

I like the big stripes but probably would take off the front fender ones as it kind of clashes with the big ones.

^^^This

If both sets of stripes were from the same manufacture and material it would look better, but as is one looks out of place to me. YMMV

I agree with some others, the stripes look great with your paint but I would loose the GS stipe. But that is my opinion and it’s not my car, do what you like as it is your car.

I like stripes usually. To me those are too wide and the spacing might be off as well. I also think the hash stripes need to go as long as the others are on the car...imo

As others have said your car and it is a nice looking car too...enjoy is all that matters.

I second the opinion, however as previously mentioned we are not the owner, if the owner likes it, end of story.

In general, I have never been a fan of the factory GS stripe except for only ONE variation that I think does look good in my opinion, a Cyber Gray Metallic GS with the Red GS stripe with just a tad of red in the engine bay and interior to help pull the Red GS stripe into perspective.

Stripes as in many things are subjective....you either love them or hate them. I have my opinion but doesn't matter because it's not my car. The OP likes them so I'll side with him.

I agree and will add that it depends on the car also. On some cars I love stripes. On the C6 Corvette, the front end is problematic for me when it comes to stripes. I like the stripes on the roof and rear, but getting the look correct on the front end is a challenge, imo.

To the OP, overall it looks good. It definitely makes the car stand out more.

Been there done that.


Wasn't happy with front hood stripes so went different direction.



Enjoy your car the way you want.
