Default OK, OK, I finished those stripes!

I had installed some custom stripes, the story here:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-diy-pics.html

A couple folks suggested "finishing" the stripes on the nose. And so I looked around some for ideas, and found one I liked. And so did this:







And a to the first person to recognize where I got the idea from.

Anyway, a good suggestion to finish them up. So much fashion sense on the Forum!

That's from the '09 CSC......basically the idea I had in mind when I suggested it in your original thread. Very nice. I like it!

Edit: Just thinking, if you want a little interesting history on those stripes, they debuted in 2007 on Forum member TrayC6 (now TrayC7) new 2008 coupe. She knew someone on the C6 team who offered to design some custom stripes for her car. They ultimately showed up on the production '09 CSC.

Actually, I was working off the 2009, 1.5Millionth Corvette, one of those that got et by the sinkhole at the NCM. I didn't realize the 09 CSC had the same stripe set. I had to call the NCM, as I could not find any photos of the back of the 1.5M car, and I wondered if the stripes went down the butt. The old guy that answered the phone said no, they were stopped at the spoiler. Which is what I did as well. The CSC's go down a ways on back. And, the 1.5M car was also a white convertible, though they used black stripes to my blue.

Cool stuff.

Cool! I kind of reminds me of the blue stripe on the 25th anniversary Trans Am.
