Default Personalizing Your Corvette - What'd you do?

Hi Guys,

Curious what others have done and what sites offer some custom graphics to personalize their vettes? Thought maybe adding some heritage stripes to the z06 would look nice. Have thought about maybe doing some limited vinyl wrapping...like maybe a small section of the hood?

Have seen some cool pinstripping on other white corvettes with red pinstripes playing well w/ the red rotors.

So...what'd you guys do to make your vette your own?

Jeff, there are Stingrays that can go on the hood. We have a thread about pinstripes that you'll find helpful. Just use the Search Engine to find it! The wheel bands are also nice on the right car. I'm not much on adding Grand Sport hash marks unless you actually own a Grand Sport.

Might be helpful posting some photos of your C7 to help with advise.
I'm with Steven in that I wouldn't add Grand Sport stripes on a Z06, but of course it's your car.
The good thing about tape/vinyl wrap is that's it's easy to remove if you don't like the look, which is what happens sometimes when you approach it from more a wanting to look different as opposed to look good perspective. I generally take a "less is more" approach.

Absolutely bone-stock.

Outside some new Michelin A/S XPs, and a possible aftermarket front license plate holder in the near future. It's perfect as-is.

Here's the canvas:




Might take a wack at some modifications using photoshop to get an idea what she might look like. Thought a few things that incorporate a black to white gradient in a couple areas might look cool The windows have been tinted on the side windows. Roof panel is totally white. My buddy came by yesterday for a quick spin and came up with an interesting nickname, 'The Storm Trooper', lol.

My car was personalized from the factory as I special ordered it just the way I wanted. The only things I have done since purchase was to tint the windows and marker lights.

Where did you get that Script Stingray decal for your hood? It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in a dark black. Is that the color of yours?
