Default Added a custom stripe!

Had a local shop, Go Wraps, put a custom stripe on the wife's C7. Turned out great! Added a jake skull and threw in some red teeth to match the brake calipers and seats. My wife LOVES it.

Very nice! I'd love to have a Jake logo on the hood but my car is black and it would barely be noticeable

I think I like, but it would help if I could see clearly. All but a few of your photos are side-ways. Have to turn my neck 90 degrees to view. Maybe my browser, or maybe you need to check your uploads. Anyway, what I saw before my neck gave out looks good.

I've seen a few stealth Jake hood stingers on black C7s and they look pretty cool.

I can't say I'm a big fan either but I think some owners have incorporated the Jake in some creative ways.

Jake is the "motto" if you will for corvette racing team and Jake was introduced on the cars sold to the public starting with the 2009 corvette GT1 models. The corvette racing teams have used "Jake" on their C6R and 7R race cars.
