Ideas for stripes or wrap.
I am absolutely done with the performance mods on my car and I am going to focus on a few cosmetic mods. I am curious what you guys think about stripes or possibly wrapping the roof/pillar. The color of my car is Supersonic Blue.
I need some ideas. Thanks

I’m gonna vote no on any kind of stripes, I did order s few small sheets 1ft x 4ft of carbon fiber look wrap. I was wanting see what the quality was from a few different brands and possibly do my mirrors and maybe roof. The only two companies worth using on carbon look is the 3M Di-noc 1080 or VVIVID, I went with flat or matte carbon, those two look pretty damn good. Maybe check them out and see what you think.

Not a big stripes fan myself...but yes, the roof/halo wrap looks great if you've got black wheels like UH-60.

I have a carbon vinyl center stripe that looks ok. I may wrap my car Grabber Blue.

Red Z; I wrapped my halo and roof 3m gloss black. It looks better but I'd advise against gloss wrap colors, as they have a lot of orange peel look in them. The satin colors are great though, as are the carbon fiber ones

I absolutely love the look of that stripe. I also love the idea of a wrapped roof pillar. I am considering doing something to my C6. So far, I wrapped the rear spoiler with Carbon Fiber wrap. I did a double stripe on my C5 using knifeless tape. The stripe was a big hit at the car shows. I say, you have to make the car your own. Otherwise, it's just another Corvette.

I like the way this Dry Carbon fiber wrap looks from Vvivid. https://vvividshop.com/collections/a...y-carbon-black

The mirrors on the C6 are virtually impossible to pull off. I tried a few times and decided to have them done "professionally". I ended up pulling that off after a day. If seems don't bother you you'll be fine but I was hardly satisfied. I ended up having my mirrors painted.
