And they're brutal (they've driven away some of the most interesting posters since I became a CF member). It would be nice if this forum had a place where non corvette things could actually be discussed, and the thread wouldn't go to **** before the OP got at least a few real answers.

They could call the sub forum "Actual real non Vette issues that don't want STFU, Koko to be in the first few posts."

I was considering pinstripes but went with wide whitewalls instead on my new C7. It's difficult to find wide white run flats.

I had the GM installed hood decal stripped and then painted in carbon flash. Pinstripe painted at same time then clear coated hood.
The headlights were also prepped and painted in artic white, then clear coated. All parts taken off the car, painted and reinstalled.
