What do you guys think about putting the dual stripes on just the hood? What it look strange?

Today ACS side rockers arrive. Thanks again to members who talked some sense into me



new mods to 2016 1LT
IMO, those are the best looking stripes on a black C7 I have ever seen. Truly stunning!

I love the full length stripes on Vettes.

One other tip. Use a lint roller as a last pass on the hood before installing the stripe.

I have to say these few minor changes are making heads turn everywhere I drive. It's hard to believe such a few minor changes can make such a huge impact. No wonder GM is releasing the GS. They understand the power of perception!

The red trim with the stripes looks terrific.

You are right, Mike at Vettestripes is good to work with. I'm glad you posted your pics when you did. As a result, I talked with Mike and am sending the Dual Silver stripe package back and will await the delivery of the Silver with Red pin stripe version. Should look good on the NRB with Red Calipers. Thanks again for your post!

Wow, I gotta say that does look great. Honestly, I'm usually not a fan of stripes, but this works so well. Love the colors, too
