Default Stripes on LBR?

i have a friend that has silver stripes on his Crystal Red Metalic C7 and I thought they looked great on it. I am yet to see any cars with stripes on LBR. Wondering if anyone has done any silver or black stripes? Would love to see pictures. Thanks

I was considering the same option earlier and saved this picture from an earlier post. I think the silver matches up nice with LBR.

Unfortunately, I can't take credit for the car being mine. I saved the picture from an earlier post because I was considering the same color/stripe combination per my original post.

I'm sure the real owner will chime in shortly.

I agree it does look nice!

Looks more like a Viper paint scheme to me.

Love the stripes. I bet gold stripes would look good too. Saw a cobra with the red body, gold stripe combo and it looked really nice in person. Similar to the photo above

If you are into stripes LBR is a good combination with them. Some colors don't go well with striping. But it is all a mater of opinion.

I was not into stripes.If into it you would probably choose a Bright Stand out color for the stripe.Some owner here had Carbon Flash stripes on the LBR.Looked stealthy,went well with the CF Vents and rear valance.Don't look threw the LBR Color Thread it isn't their,just checked.
I wouldn't of ordered my GS with stripes cause a decision like that should be seen.My thinking.
I happened to take a 5hr. drive to see a interior color.I noticed also it had stripes..Wasn't crazy about them on a photo.Said what the Hell.
Car came home.People look at it for a bit then say...Ohh it has stripes.They blend in well,match well and ain't so obvious.Liking That


Certain lighting the stripes are very light

I'm not a fan of full stripping on C7s even I do like Dale's as a result of it's subtlety.
That being said, I believe silver, white or black go nicely with LBR.

I have LBR w/ kalahari interior so I added a stinger stripe that matched very close to kalahari.
