I like the Stinger stripe on the C7s and the grille would look good painted CF. I say go for it. As an alternative to painting the hood stripe, consider getting a vinyl stripe made. That way if you ever change your mind, it can be easily removed.

Here’s what I did...
I’ve got the Laguna Blue Z51 as well and one of the first things I did was to simply get a roll of faux carbon fiber tape and cover up that chrome strip. Then I removed the fish badges from the fenders. Most recently I swapped out the chrome crossed flags emblems on the nose and back for the carbon flash set.
Here’s what it looks like now with those few subtle changes...
I also thought about that stinger stripe on the hood, but eventually decided to keep it as is.

Simply apply this tape to the bright chrome strip across the grill...look for it on Amazon.com. I did not remove the grill...just carefully stick it on and trim the edges with an exacto knife or similar. Tuck the bottom edge in with a credit card and trim the top edge with that knife. There's plenty of tape in that roll so if you mess up, you can try it again until you get it right.

That brand has really bad reviews on Amazon. This is the exact one you used and would you suggest an alternative?

I’ve had this on my car for about a year through rain, bugs, washes and it still looks like I just put it on. There is a similar product by 3M that costs more...so I guess it must be “better”...not sure how much better it can be given the results I’ve enjoyed with what I got.

Can you confirm this is the exact one?

I had mine ordered with Carbon Flash mirrors, spoiler etc but it had the chrome strip in the grille! I asked detailer to put some black wrap film over it. Now it looks great! See below!//Motors5
