Default Dual full length stripes?

Since I date back to the 70's muscle car era, I've always liked the look of the full length racing stripes, but I see relatively few in the pictures posted on the forum. Just wondering if most people think they're over the top, dorkey, out of style, what?

I ordered Blade Silver stripes on my Shark Grey Z06. Can't wait to see it!

Ordered a NRB vert. I like the stripes but didn't want them to be the very first thing that was noticed on the car. Before placing order, I saw a NRB with Cyber Gray full length stripes and really liked the subtle contrast. RPO DTN was included on the order.

I wanted mine to be over the top because it seemed like a waste of money to stripe the bottom Do not fear the stripe, fear the car

Stripes are a great choice, do it you already know you want them.

I do really like them on both that yellow/black and the white/black. Excellent choices.

Stripes are in style for the C7, past generations frowned on them but many have some sort of Vinyl Stripe on their car now.

In fact we at Night Shades will be introducing a new design in the coming weeks once we become a supporting vendor!

I know this will not be a popular response but I think the C7 is kind of plain without the full length stripes or stinger stripe. Just my opinion.

I have 2015 C7 in Crystal Red with Black Carbon Fiber Racing Stripes and matching mirrors and rear spoiler. The car draws crowds wherever I go. Go for it!

Here are some of the ones that I came across. Really like the Crystal Red with black stripes as it is rather subtle given the two dark colors. But also love the yellow with black shown above.

Please PM me when you have all your "ducks in a row", I'd be very interested in your new designs.

Exactly....very old school. It will depict you as an older guy with memories of the past.

I had a `70 Chevelle SS, 75/75 Cranberry Red with dual black stripes.
Looked great back then....now not so much.
Date yourself if you wish, but I would go modern twenty-first century no stripe look.
