Hood Stripe

Mike from VetteStripes installed a hood stinger stripe for me today. Carbon flash metallic with red pin stripes. His design input was very helpful and his installation was meticulous.
The fender hash is a temporary experiment...he wanted to see what it would like on the blade silver.
Cheers

Thanks all. I told Mike I'd pull the fender hash off later but I'm starting to dig it. Guess I'll have him do both sides...if I can decide on red or black!

Looks great, keep the hash marks, a little color with the pin stripe looks smart

Yes, he can do it that way. It'd cost a bit more but could be made to match.

65wave, that orange looks great!!

Very nice, similar to the stripe we had painted on my dad's car. The red accent really sets it off.
