Default Graphics for a 2014 C7

I'm looking for a company that sells a graphic package to change the color of my stinger on the front hood.

Try vettefx. You might want to call them because their website looks like a ten year old designed it. I've only read good things about them though.

Get it painted. I just got out of the paint shop yesterday and looks like a $70 K car should look, not with a decal. The decal will scratch very easy and after a while it will dull.

Mine was similar. I had the whole hood cleared after the stinger was painted.

Then they wet sanded and buffed the hood...

I have at least one panel the is orange peel free now!

What color is you Z06? My car is Sunrise Orange 2015 and the orange peel is not as bad as my other corvette 2014.
